Cortex XSIAM allows you to update individual Broker VM applets independently. This enables faster deployment of hot-fixes and new features with minimal broker downtime.
### Applet versioning and visibility
You can view the current version of an active applet by navigating to **Settings** > **Configurations** > **Data Broker** > **Broker VMs** and clicking the applet icon in the **APPS** column.
### Automatic applet updates
If **Auto Upgrade** is enabled for your Broker VM, applets will upgrade automatically when a new version is available.
* For standalone brokers: The applet updates as soon as a new version is available.
* For clusters: Applets follow a rolling upgrade mechanism to ensure service continuity.
### Manual applet updates
When a new version of an applet is released, Cortex XSIAM triggers a notification:
1. The applet status indicator changes to orange, indicating a **WARNING** state.
2. A message appears in the applet hovering menu: **New version available: X.Y.Z**.
3. To update, select **Update** from the hovering menu.
4. While the update is in progress, the status displays as Updating.
5. Upon completion, the status indicator changes to green, indicating a **CONNECTED** state.
6. A successful update is recorded in the **Management Audit Logs**.
