# Release Track Preferences

> Decide when to get the latest Xano updates

<Info>
  Release track preferences are only available on our paid plans.
</Info>

<Warning>
  Please note that emergency patches or updates may override your release track preferences.
</Warning>

From your Instance settings panel, you have the ability to define when Xano updates are applied to that instance. This is helpful if you want to only deploy updates to a specific maintenance window that makes sense for your application, or schedule testing after an update is applied.

* Click the⚙️ icon next to your instance, and choose **Release Track** from the panel that opens.
