<title>Description</title>
<para>
Updates applications and runtimes. <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> is a reference to the
application or runtime to update. If no <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> is given, everything
is updated, as well as appstream info for all remotes.
</para>
<para>
Each <arg choice="plain">REF</arg> argument is a full or partial identifier in the
flatpak ref format, which looks like "(app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH". All elements
except ID are optional and can be left out, including the slashes,
so most of the time you need only specify ID. Any part left out will be matched
against what is installed, and if there are multiple matches an error message
will list the alternatives.
</para>
<para>
By default this looks for both apps and runtimes with the given <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>,
but you can limit this by using the <option>--app</option> or <option>--runtime</option> option, or by supplying the initial
element in the <arg choice="plain">REF</arg>.
</para>
<para>
Normally, this command updates the application to the tip
of its branch. But it is possible to check out another commit,
with the <option>--commit</option> option.
</para>
<para>
If the configured remote for a ref being updated has a collection ID configured on it,
Flatpak will search the <filename>sideload-repos</filename> directories configured
either with the <option>--sideload-repo</option> option, or on a per-installation or
system-wide basis (see
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>flatpak</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
</para>
<para>
Note that updating a runtime is different from installing
a different branch, and runtime updates are expected to keep
strict compatibility. If an application update does cause
a problem, it is possible to go back to the previous
version, with the <option>--commit</option> option.
</para>
<para>
In addition to updates, this command will offer to uninstall any unused end-of-life
runtimes. Runtimes that were explicitly installed (not as a dependency) or explicitly
pinned (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>flatpak-pin</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>)
are left installed even if unused and end-of-life.
</para>
<para>
Unless overridden with the <option>--user</option>, <option>--system</option> or <option>--installation</option> option, this command updates
any matching refs in the standard system-wide installation and the per-user one.

The architecture to update for. See <command>flatpak --supported-arches</command>
for architectures supported by the host.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--subpath=PATH</option></term>
<listitem><para>
Install only a subpath of the ref. This is mainly used to install a subset of locales.
This can be added multiple times to install multiple subpaths.
If this is not specified the subpaths specified at install time are reused.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><option>--commit=COMMIT</option></term>

but can be done on a per-command basis. Any path added here is used in addition
