Cavallo supports updating your app extension within the settings page. The app will also notify all users of the need to update their extension.

Update Banner

The update banner will now appear for all users whenever there is a new version of the extension available to be installed. There are two versions of the banner that will be shown: One for users that have permission to manage app updates, and one for those who do not. 

Regardless of whether users have the ability to run the updates or not, each user will have the option to dismiss the banner and resume their work in the system by clicking the "X" found to the right side of the banner.
