This blog provides you information from the latest release notification to upgrading to the latest Syncfusion version. ## Latest release notification You can find Syncfusion’s latest release in the following two ways: - Syncfusion website - Syncfusion control panel ### Syncfusion website Once the latest Syncfusion Essential Studio® version has been rolled out, the release information will be updated on the [Syncfusion](https://www.syncfusion.com) website. ![Showing the latest release information in Syncfusion website](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Showing-the-latest-release-information-in-Syncfusion-website.png) Showing the latest release information in Syncfusion website ### Syncfusion control panel The latest version will be displayed at the top of the Syncfusion control panel after the latest version has been rolled out. Clicking **Check for Updates** also lets you know about the latest Syncfusion version available. Refer to this [documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/utilities#syncfusion-control-panel) for more information. ![Showing the latest release information at the top of Syncfusion control panel](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Showing-the-latest-release-information-at-the-top-of-Syncfusion-control-panel.png) Showing the latest release information at the top of Syncfusion control panel ## Download and install ### Download You can download the latest version from the download links provided on the Syncfusion website, in mail notifications, or in the results when you check for updates. Refer to this [documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/download) for more information regarding downloading the latest version. ### Install You can install Syncfusion Essential Studio® using either the [offline](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/installation/install-using-the-offline-installer) or [online](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/installation/install-using-the-web-installer) installer. Recently, Syncfusion has provided a lot of improvements for the online installer, making the installation process easy and user-friendly. Refer to this [blog post](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/post/improvements-made-in-essential-studio-web-installer.aspx) for the improvements to the online installer. You can also use the Mac installers for the [Mac](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/installation/essential-studio-mac-installer) devices. ## Using NuGet You can also use the latest Syncfusion NuGet instead of installing the offline and online installers. Refer to [NuGet packages](https://help.syncfusion.com/extension/syncfusion-nuget-packages/nuget-packages) page in our UG documentation for more information about installing the NuGet packages. ## Upgrade your projects to the latest Syncfusion version Manually migrating projects to the latest version might result in errors, and it is not recommended. To make this migration process easier, Syncfusion provides a project migration utility to easily migrate your projects to the latest version. Refer to this [documentation](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/utilities#project-migration) for more information about project migration. ## Syncfusion demos in GitHub Syncfusion demos can be accessed without installing the Essential Studio® setup just by downloading them from GitHub. This process is easier than installing the setup for multiple platforms. You can just download the demos for the platforms you need and launch them. Refer to this [blog post](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/post/syncfusion-essential-studio-component-demos-now-available-in-github.aspx) for more information regarding the Syncfusion demos published in GitHub. ## Syncfusion extensions in the Marketplace Syncfusion also provides extensions in the Visual Studio Marketplace. The extensions are the code packages that are run inside Visual Studio and provide new or improved features. Refer to this [blog post](https://www.syncfusion.com/blogs/post/syncfusion-extensions-in-visual-studio-marketplace.aspx) for more information regarding the Syncfusion extensions available in the Visual Studio Marketplace. ## What’s new, feature tour, and release notes Once the new version has been rolled out, you can check what new features are included and the release information of that version. | Platform group | Platform Name | What’s new | Feature tour | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Web (Essential JS 2) | ASP.NET MVC | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/aspnetmvc-js2 | https://www.syncfusion.com/aspnet-mvc-ui-controls | | ASP.NET Core | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/aspnetcore-js2 | https://www.syncfusion.com/aspnet-core-ui-controls | | | JavaScript | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/essential-js2 | https://www.syncfusion.com/javascript-ui-controls | | | Mobile | Xamarin | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/xamarin-forms | https://www.syncfusion.com/xamarin-ui-controls | | Desktop | Windows Forms | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/windows-forms | https://www.syncfusion.com/winforms-ui-controls | | WPF | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/wpf | https://www.syncfusion.com/wpf-ui-controls | | | UWP | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/universalwindows | https://www.syncfusion.com/uwp-ui-controls | | | File Formats | – | – | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/file-formats/ | | Web (Essential JS 2) | ASP.NET Web Forms | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/aspnet | https://www.syncfusion.com/jquery/aspnet-web-forms-ui-controls | | ASP.NET MVC | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/aspnetmvc | https://www.syncfusion.com/jquery/aspnet-mvc-ui-controls | | | ASP.NET Core | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/aspnetcore | https://www.syncfusion.com/jquery/aspnet-core-ui-controls | | | JavaScript | https://www.syncfusion.com/products/whatsnew/javascript | https://www.syncfusion.com/jquery/javascript-ui-controls | | | PHP | – | https://www.syncfusion.com/jquery/php-ui-controls | | | JSP | – | https://www.syncfusion.com/jquery-ui-widgets | | Details of fixes and new features will be updated in our [release notes](https://help.syncfusion.com/common/essential-studio/release-notes) . ## Conclusion In this blog post, we’ve seen how to upgrade our applications to the latest Syncfusion version in simple and effective manner.
