Not sure how to get on the newest version of TimeClick? Don’t worry. We’ll break it down in plain language.
When people talk about “updating” TimeClick, they usually mean one of two things:
- Patch updates: Small fixes or improvements within your current version (example: a newer build of TimeClick 25, such as 25.0.0.2)
- Version upgrades: Moving from an older version to the latest release (example: TimeClick 21 → TimeClick 25)
This guide explains the difference and points you to the right steps.
