FAQPage Schema
How do I automate GSD version updates and check the changelog?

You can automate GSD updates by running the update workflow, which checks for the latest version, displays a detailed changelog, and prompts for user confirmation before applying changes. This eliminates manual version tracking and reduces update errors.

Can I sync managed GSD skills across runtime roots during an update?

Syncing managed GSD skills across runtime roots is supported during the update process by using the sync flag. This updates your distributed GSD installations simultaneously, ensuring version consistency across all managed environments.

What is the best way to reapply local modifications after updating GSD?

Reapplying local modifications after a GSD update is supported through dedicated reapply options within the update workflow. This preserves your custom configurations by layering them back onto the newly updated base version automatically.

Does the GSD update workflow require manual version detection?

Manual version detection is not required because the update workflow automates checking for new GSD versions. It regularly notifies you when updates are available and handles the version comparison internally to streamline change management.

Why does manually updating GSD lead to configuration errors?

Manual GSD updates often cause errors because tracking version changes and reapplying local modifications by hand is error-prone. The automated update workflow solves this by handling version detection, changelog review, and configuration syncing systematically.
