SnagIt 8.2.3 Online Manual

The SnagIt Main Interface > Tools Menu > Program Preferences > Updater Tab

Updater Tab

The Updater tab allows you to set up SnagIt to automatically check for SnagIt program updates.

To access the Updater tab:

Select Tools > Program Preferences.
The Program Preferences dialog box opens.
Select the Updater tab.

Note: When using timer-activated capture, disable all popup messages and select the Log Events to a File option. This allows SnagIt to operate unattended, since communications errors can occur for a number of reasons. SnagIt logs the errors, and then continues running.

The following table summarizes the description and use of each option on the Notifications tab.

Option	Description & Use
Enabled automated update checking	Enable this option if you would like SnagIt to automatically check for program updates on the SnagIt Web site. This option is enabled by default.
Days between checks	Select the number of days between checking for updates. The default entry is 14 days.
Prompt before update check	Enable this option if you would like SnagIt to prompt you for your Internet access information before checking for an update. Typically, if you are on a dial-up connection, you will need to sign on to your Internet provider in order to access the Web.
