Ledger firmware and app updates should be read in order: confirm the backup record, identify what kind of prompt is shown, handle the app or device layer, and then return to Ledger Wallet for a page check. This keeps update work from blending into first-time setup.
Begin with the backup record
Before following any update prompt, make sure the backup record is complete and easy to locate. The post-setup items in the initialization checklist are a good way to confirm the record without rewriting the recovery phrase.
Identify whether the prompt is app or firmware related
Some notices belong to Ledger Wallet itself, some to device apps, and some to firmware. Use the app versus firmware update guide to classify the prompt before choosing the next step.
Use the official app entry for page work
When the task is app-side, open Ledger Wallet through the known installation and platform path in the Ledger Wallet download guide. If the prompt includes version details, check the version location with the firmware version guide.
Return to a final page check
After the update, confirm the page state, device recognition, and whether any prompt remains. A short routine such as the daily Ledger check keeps the final review practical without adding unrelated setup steps.
