管理更新渠道

An update channel decides which build of OpenClaw you receive, letting you choose between rock-solid releases and the newest features.

OpenClaw offers two main channels: stable for tested releases and dev for the latest in-progress changes.

You move between channels with the openclaw update command, passing a channel flag to pick which build you want.

To try the newest features early, switch to the dev channel and you will pull the latest in-development build.

For everyday reliability, stay on stable; it gives you releases that have already been tested before reaching you.

The dev channel ships changes sooner, so you see fresh features first but may meet rough edges that stable users avoid. ⚡

Updating refreshes the OpenClaw you run locally, including the Gateway daemon that powers your sessions and channels.

Updates happen when you run the command; nothing forces a new build onto your machine without your say-so.

Choose your channel by goal: dev when you want to explore and test, stable when you just want things to keep working.

Channels are not a one-way door; run update again with the other channel flag whenever you want to switch back.

Running update regularly keeps OpenClaw current with fixes and improvements on whichever channel you have chosen.

Let us check how you choose the newest build.
