You are going to have to give a better description of what you want to do. Are you trying to deploy your flows? If so press the `Deploy` button.

If you mean you want to update some installed nodes then click on the Hamburger menu and select Manage Palette.

In context of @tanya's previous posts, the question is regarding a custom sidebar they are developing - this isn't about 'normal' usage of Node-RED.

However it's impossible to answer this question without a full description of what they want to do. For example, does it mean "update the modules from npm" or does it mean "change the configuration of nodes in the workspace" and so on.

@tanya to answer the question, please describe in more detail what you want to do.
