If you're using the Mend Renovate App, you don't need to do anything, as the Renovate maintainers update it regularly.
If you're self hosting Renovate, use the latest release if possible.
## When is the Mend Renovate App updated with new Renovate versions?
The Renovate maintainers manually update the app.
The maintainers don't follow any release schedule or release cadence, but try to update at least once a week.
This means the Mend Renovate App can lag a few hours to a week behind the open source version.
Major releases of Renovate are held back until the maintainers are reasonably certain it works for most users.
## How can I see which version the Mend Renovate app is using?
Follow these steps to see which version the Mend Renovate app is on:
1. Go to the [Mend Developer Portal](https://developer.mend.io/)
1. Sign in to the Renovate app with your GitHub or Bitbucket account
1. Select your organization
1. Select a installed repository
1. Select a job from the _Recent jobs_ overview
1. Select the _Info_ Log Level from the dropdown menu
1. You should see something like this:
```
INFO: Repository started
{
"renovateVersion": "39.11.5"
}
```
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
!!! tip
The PRs that Renovate creates have a link to the "repository job log" in the footer of the PR body text.
