This guide explains how to disable or enable the "New Version Available" update prompts within the LucidLink desktop application. This is useful for individual users who prefer manual updates or administrators using MDM (Mobile Device Management) solutions to manage software versions across an organization.

Configuration Overview

Update notifications are controlled via a configuration file named client-settings.json. By default, this file is located in the .lucid folder within your user profile directory.

File Path:

• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.lucid\client-settings.json

• macOS/Linux: ~/.lucid/client-settings.json

How to Disable Notifications

1. Navigate to the .lucid folder on your machine.

2. Open client-settings.json with a text editor (e.g., Notepad, TextEdit, or VS Code).

3. Locate the showUpdateNotifications field.

4. Change the value from true to false.

Example JSON structure:

{
    "showUpdateNotifications": false
}

5. Save the file and restart the LucidLink desktop application for the changes to take effect.

Information for Administrators (MDM)

To disable update prompts across your organization, you can use your MDM tool to deploy or modify the client-settings.json file in each user’s .lucid directory.

If the .lucid folder or the client-settings.json file does not yet exist, you can manually create them to pre-configure these settings for your users.
