If you prefer a one-stop shop for managing all your developer tools, consider Toolbox App. EAP versions, however, can be updated to both newer EAP and stable PhpStorm versions. The 2017.3 EAP version in this case will be installed in parallel with your existing stable installation. For example, you can update PhpStorm 2017.2.3 to 2017.2.4 EAP but not to 2017.3 EAP. Note that if you have ignored several updates, you need to remove and apply them one by one, starting from the oldest update.Ī note for EAP users: you can update PhpStorm only to a minor EAP release, but not to the major one.

The update that you have un-ignored will show up, and you can now apply it as a patch as well.

Delete the ignored build’s number from this list and check for available updates once more.

Navigate back to the Updates settings page and click the View/edit ignored updates link to open the Ignored updates list.

Otherwise, keep ignoring the proposed updates until a patch-based update is proposed.

Click the Check Now button to check for available updates. If you only skipped a single update, the update dialog box will now prompt you to update and restart PhpStorm.

Open the PhpStorm Settings / Preferences dialog and navigate to Appearance and Behavior | System Settings | Updates.

This way, you will add the proposed build’s number to the Ignored updates list.

Ignore the proposed update by clicking Ignore This Update.

If this happens, you can restore the ability to apply patched-based updates by manually applying skipped updates one by one. As a result, when a new PhpStorm version is released, you will see a dialog box prompting you to download and install it: If you skip or ignore a patch, you will lose the ability to apply the subsequent patches. For example, if you are using PhpStorm 2017.1.1, you can patch it to 2017.1.2, but not to 2017.1.3. Due to the current limitations of the update system, these patches can only be applied sequentially, on top of one another. PhpStorm updates are usually patch-based: they are applied to the existing installation and only require you to restart the IDE.
