Updating Sublime Text 3

Sublime Text 3 is a popular text editor among web developers, and keeping it up to date is key to take advantage of the latest features and bug fixes. Fortunately, updating Sublime Text 3 is fairly easy.

First, open Sublime Text 3 and click on the Preferences tab in the top menu bar. Then, click on the Package Settings option in the dropdown menu. Select Package Control and then click on the Settings – User option.

In the Settings – User tab, add the following line of code:

"channels":
[
"https://packagecontrol.io/channel_v3.json"
]

This line of code tells Sublime Text 3 to check for updates from the official Package Control channel. After adding this line, save the file and then restart Sublime Text 3.

Once Sublime Text 3 is restarted, open the Command Palette from the top menu bar (View > Show Command Palette). Then, type the word “update” and select Package Control: Upgrade/Overwrite All Packages option from the dropdown menu.

Sublime Text 3 will now start checking for updates. If an update is available, it will be downloaded and installed. Once the installation is complete, Sublime Text 3 will restart again and the new version of Sublime Text 3 will be ready to use.
