# 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](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/manage-deployments/updates/resume-updates) 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>
