-  <p>The <span data-keyref="GameMaker Name">GameMaker</span> IDE will periodically check for updates and then download them automatically.

However there are some updates that include important fixes or improvements that cannot be skipped and <span data-keyref="GameMaker Name">GameMaker</span> will force an update in these cases.</p>

-  <p><span data-keyref="GameMaker Name">GameMaker</span> is more than just an IDE and has a number of different runtime tools that it uses behind the scenes to build your games for the different target platforms available. These tools are mainly the different runners and compilers that each platform requires, and you can actually have several of each at any one time. What this means is that you can &quot;pick and choose&quot; which compiler version and which runner version to use should you have found any issues with the current one or are aiming at a very specific target version or platform.</p>
-  <p>These tools will automatically update when there is a new version available, but you can then use the <a data-xref="{title}" href="IDE_Preferences/Runtime_Feed_Preferences.htm">Runtime Feeds Preferences</a><b> </b>to select which ones you actually want to use.</p>
-  <p>When updating you will also get the <a data-xref="{text}" href="Installation_Guide.htm#h">Runtime Modules Dialog</a>, which allows you to select the runtime modules to install.</p>
+  <p>You can also open this window manually using <a data-xref="{title}" href="../IDE_Navigation/Menus/The_Help_Menu.htm">The Help Menu</a>.</p>
+  <p>This gives you the option of downloading the update, skipping it to be reminded the next time the IDE is started and skipping the automatic update prompt until a newer release. You can also open the Release Notes for the update to read about the changes.</p>
+  <p>While updates are optional, we strongly recommend updating to new available versions as they will always contain stability improvements and bug fixes, and major releases may bring new features.
