Update Bricklayer Editor
How updates arrive, how to check for one yourself, and what to do if an update fails.
Updated November 8, 2026
Bricklayer checks for updates on its own. You can also check by hand.
Check for an update
- Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).
- Run Bricklayer: Check for Updates.
- If one is available, follow the prompt. Bricklayer: Open the Update Download Page opens the download page instead, if you prefer to install it yourself.
If you installed Bricklayer from the Microsoft Store, the Store keeps it updated.
What changed?
Release notes and devlogs are on the Updates page.
Does updating touch my games?
No. Updates replace the app. Your projects, settings, and stored keys live in your user profile and stay where they are.
The update failed
- Close Bricklayer Editor completely.
- Get the latest installer (downloads are by request right now) and run it.
- If the installer shows an error, note the exact message and report it.
After a big update, if Studio stops connecting, reinstall the plugin with Bricklayer: Install Studio Plugin and restart Studio.
