Updating the app

Within 24 hours after an updated version of the Data Viewer Add-In is accepted at the SharePoint Store, a notification that an update is available appears next to the app on Site Contents page of every website where it is installed. There is nothing in the SharePoint Online infrastructure that forces you to update. Updating a SharePoint app is optional. Lightning Tools updates their SharePoint apps to provide fixes to issues and new functionality. If you would like to know the new features an update provides, then submit a support ticket. Please provide the product name: Data Viewer app and the version number of the app currently installed.
