Update the application

Use the CLI to update the framework and every installed official plugin together.

Preview the update

ness update --dry-run

The preview prints the npm operation without changing package.json, the lock file, or node_modules.

Install stable releases

ness update
npm run check

Without package arguments, Ness discovers installed packages in the @nessframework/* scope and updates them to the latest npm tag.

Update selected packages when a smaller change is required:

ness update core cli
ness update tailwind analyzer

Prerelease channel

ness update core cli --tag next

Review the generated lock-file diff and run the project test/build pipeline before deployment. See ness update for the full command reference.
