This page lists the main changes that came with each version of vivePDF. The notes below match the **What's new** section inside the app: the newest version comes first, each under its own heading. They cover the highlights only; for every small fix, see the complete list.

## How updates arrive

vivePDF checks for new versions itself and tells you when one is out. At start-up it only fetches version information; downloading and installing always ask you first.

1. Open **Settings › Updates** and click **Check for updates**. The same command is also in the **Help** menu.
2. When a new version is out, a **v… ready** label appears in the top bar. Choose **Download and install**; the update arrives signed.
3. Once the download finishes, click **Restart** and the app opens on the new version.

The **Installed version** line on the same screen shows which version you have. If you do not want automatic checks, turn off **Check automatically at startup**. While [Offline mode](https://vivepdf.com/en/docs/offline/) is on, no check is made at all. Installing and uninstalling are covered on the [Installation](https://vivepdf.com/en/docs/installation/) page.

### After an update

The first time you start the new version, vivePDF shows its highlights once in a window titled **vivePDF … is installed**. After you close it, the same notes are always available under **Help › What's new**.

## The complete list of changes

Every addition, change and fix in each version is recorded with its date in [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/mtvrkan/vivePDF/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) on GitHub. The installers and a short note for each version are on the [releases page](https://github.com/mtvrkan/vivePDF/releases).

## vivePDF 0.3.0

Released: 2026-10-15 · [GitHub](https://github.com/mtvrkan/vivePDF/releases/tag/v0.3.0)

- Help that works offline: F1 shows the shortcuts of the screen you are on (and saves them as a PDF), Help › Help topics explains the main tasks step by step, and bug reports can carry pictures and sample files in a support package you save yourself.
- Offline mode: one switch in Settings › Web turns off every feature that would use the internet — updates, downloads, web search, citation lookups and the leaked-password check.
- Presenter view: the projector shows only the slides while your laptop shows the next page, a timer and speaker notes.
- Studio documents learned Word-style writing tools: footnotes, columns and section breaks, find and replace, line spacing, symbols, word count and Markdown export.
- Presentations can insert formulas, shapes, charts, tables and diagrams on the fly, also on the black and white boards.
