Version Updates
Alteryx can check to make sure the version you are running is the latest version. If there is an update to the program, you will be notified based on the preference that is set.
Auto Check
If you are connected to the internet, each time Alteryx launches it checks if there is a newer version available for download. If a newer version is available, a message appears at the top of the GUI, with an Options button. Options include...
Go to Download Site: The Alteryx Downloads and Licenses portal opens in a browser window. Sign in to download the latest version.

Hide this for 30 days: Message disappears during the active instance of Alteryx. Message reappears when Alteryx is launched 30 calendar days from the current day.

Hide this for 1 year: Message disappears during the active instance of Alteryx. Message reappears when Alteryx is launched 1 calendar year from the current day.
