# Use the "Sync Now" feature in a Patch My PC Cloud Deployment

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

If an app has more than one version of an update available, using **Sync Now** ensures it is updated to the latest version as soon as possible, which could impact your users. So, think carefully before using this.
{% endhint %}

If you have [resumed updates](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/manage-deployments/updates/resume-updates.md) for an app in Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud and want to update it as soon as possible rather than waiting for the nightly sync job to run:

1. Click on the relevant deployment which has been resumed.<br>

2. Click **Sync Now** to install any updates for the app immediately.<br>

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

If the **Sync Now** button is greyed out, no updates are available for this app.
{% endhint %}

3. On the **Are you sure you want to update <*****app\_name*****> to the latest version** popup, click **OK**.<br>

   \
   The **Deployment <*****app\_name*****> updated** notification is displayed and the deployment **Status** changes to **In Progress**.<br>

   Once the deployment has been completed successfully, the **Status** changes to **Success**.<br>

**Tip**

If you look in the **Events node**, you will see the following event:

**Deployment <*****app\_name*****> Updated.**
