Application Updates

The Library uses Self Service to run certain application updates on all computers. These applications include Box Drive, Firefox, Chrome, Slack, Citrix Workspace, and others.

When a new version is available, it will appear in Self Service as an update. Typically, users have 7 days to install the update before it is automatically installed after force-quitting.
