# Update the Snyk Broker client

How to update the Snyk Broker client to get new features and fixes from Snyk releases

Snyk regularly releases updated versions of the Broker client in order to provide new features, bug fixes, and more. Snyk recommends that you install the updated version of your Broker client regularly to take advantage of bug fixes and new features.

The full list of versions with release notes is available on [Snyk Broker GitHub](https://github.com/snyk/broker/releases). Snyk encourages you to [subscribe to the RSS feed](https://github.com/snyk/broker/releases.atom) for that page to receive information about versions as they are released. The Docker images are released more slowly than the GitHub releases. The `docker pull` command always pulls the most recent image.

Update the Broker client in the same way you installed it initially. Stopping and starting your Broker by itself will not update the version of Broker client that is used

## Updating using the Docker method

Run `docker pull snyk/broker:<brokerClienttype>` to pull the latest version of that tag, then stop and start your Broker client or clients.

## Updating using the Helm method

The specifics will be determined by how you initially installed and ran your Snyk Broker, but running a Helm upgrade\` instead of Helm install\` with the same arguments will pull the latest chart, unless you target a specific chart version. Ensure that you still supply the correct values for your Broker, either by using the `--set <variable>:<value>` commands, or by using a YAML file.

The Helm Chart targets the latest version of the applicable Broker client and has `imagePullPolicy: Always`, so upgrading to the latest chart will reinitialize the pod and pull the latest version of the client.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-broker/update-the-snyk-broker-client.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
