## Updating MarcEdit

MarcEdit is continually being improved. Fixes and sometimes new functionality are released several times per year. There is no set schedule as to when an update is available. However, it is recommended to subscribe to the MarcEdit listserv where information is posted on new updates and/or versions.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: instructor

Note: Typically updates will not remove funtionality. However, some updates will re-arrange tools and functions slightly differently from time to time. For example, from 7.6 to 7.7, the Edit Shortcuts menu went from one level to choose from to a mix of 2 and one.
