# Block Update

If a new version of a particular block has been released, you'll see an **Update Block** button at the top of your block settings sidebar (as shown below). Using this functionality, you can update your block to its latest version with a single click, preserving all the stylings and configurations.

You can click **Show Changes** above the button to see the update changelog.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note that there might be cases (of which you'll be notified in block settings) when the **Update Block** option won't be available and you'll need to remove the block and add it again, redoing the block setup.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Any block you add in your Softr app after the release of the **Block Update** feature will be assigned a **2.0.0** version and will start supporting the one-click update functionality. Blocks with older versions will still need to be updated manually (removed and added/configured again).
