Each time I revisit the Gravity Forms download page, there have been one or more minor version increments, but my installation does not update itself. I need to remove and re-add the plugin (which, fortunately, maintains form and entry data since I did not use the “Uninstall” feature).

How do I get automatic updates to work?

I can’t find the specific link to the page that explains how Gravity Forms automatic updates work at the moment, but basically they ship a bunch of patch releases and make it available via [GravityForms.com](http://GravityForms.com). Once that code has been out there a while and had more production-run hours under its belt, it’s tagged for automatic update.

Thanks @Jake_Jackson - it was hard to find. Here it is though:

> **[Gravity Forms Interim Releases | Gravity Forms](https://www.gravityforms.com/gravity-forms-interim-releases/)**
>
> Gravity Forms incorporates automatic updates like WordPress and other WordPress plugins; however, sometimes we need to make updates available to users before they are deployed globally. We already do so, but many users aren't aware.

Maybe that blog post should be incorporated into the main documentation? Seems important info for users.
