# Checking for updates

From Talend Administration Center home page, you can access the Software update page that allows you to check for the latest patches. These patches are retrieved from software update repositories.

For more information on how to set the parameters on the Configuration page, see [Setting up Software Update parameters](https://help.qlik.com/talend/en-US/administration-center-user-guide/7.3/setting-up-software-update-parameters) .

Information noteNote: These parameters must be correctly filled in order for the Web application to connect to the software update repository. Otherwise, a message will be displayed in the Software update page to inform you that the repository URL is unreachable.

For more information on configuring the software update repositories, see [Configuring the Software Update repository](https://help.qlik.com/talend/r/en-US/7.3/installation-guide-linux/config-update-repo).
