## Updating your Pi
Keeping your kit up to date is very important. It enables us to deploy new features, as well as fix bugs.

There are 2 ways of updating your kit:

- [Using an `update.tar.xz` file](update-file)
- [Flashing your SD card](sd-card)
We have documentation on [Flashing your SD card](sd-card).

This reads a little oddly, perhaps this?:

You can update your Pi by flashing your SD card.


There is a separate list of [all published updates](/updates).

{{% notice tip %}}
Using the update file is the recommended way to update your kit.

title: Updates
---

Keeping your kit up to date is very important. It enables us to deploy new features, as well as fix bugs.

The following table outlines the updates which have been published, each of
which is available in two formats:

* an [update file](/kit/pi/update-file)
* a [full image](/kit/pi/sd-card)

The update files are the easiest way to apply an update and are the recommended
approach. The full images are provided in case an update goes wrong or you need
to completely wipe your Pi for some reason.

Once you have downloaded the file you need, refer to the documentation on
[updating your pi](/kit/pi/#updating-your-pi) to apply the update.

Each update file is a complete upgrade. Each file contains the changes of those before it. If you need to jump up multiple versions, you can do so by using the latest file.

I think we can probably just drop this -- it was thought to be needed as the behaviour of the update files is non-obvious. The behaviour of flashing the Pi is somewhat clearer IMO.

(Not sure if I'm biased by know what the flashing is doing though?)

If we do want to keep this, then maybe explain why the statement is the case? Perhaps something like:

Flashing an image file replaces all the software on the Pi with the versions in the image, so you only need to install the one that you want to use.

Even then, I think that reads oddly as we're omitting a detail about why that comment is needed.
