Update

• Update active layout creates a named snapshot of your active layout (keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+L on Windows; Ctrl+Opt+Cmd+L on OS X)
• Update Now checks what software/resources have been updated on the server since your last update. Also used to restart Cancelled updates.
• Update Resources performs an intensive check against your licenses, the resources on your computer and resources on the server to ensure that you have everything.

• UILang {lang} changes the User Interface language

You can substitute the following language abbreviations:
af = Afrikaans, pt = Portuguese, nl = Dutch, en = English,
fr = French, de = German, it = Italian, es = Spanish, sv = Swedish
This works in any language, so you don’t have to worry about the current language setting.
A restart is required to effect the change.
