Note: Before updating to a new macOS (e.g. from macOS 11 Big Sur to macOS 13 Ventura), make sure your version of Live, as well as all plug-ins, hardware drivers, and other applications, are officially supported on the new OS. If not, we recommend waiting until updates are released.
The latest security updates for your current macOS version (e.g. an update from macOS 12.6.1 to macOS 13.0) should always be installed when released, as these provide important fixes and do not introduce compatibility issues.
Back up all important data before updating your OS, Live, or any other software. We recommend waiting to update a new macOS until critical projects are completed.
