Quality update | A quality update is a cumulative, roll-up build that contains fixes for known issues that are specific to the service update. | A quality update is available when your environment is running the same version of the current service update (n), or when your environment is running on one version older than the current service update (n-1). For example, if the current service update is version 10.0.2, you will have the option to choose a quality update if you’re running version 10.0.2, or if you’re running one version older, which is 10.0.1. There will be no quality update available for any version that’s older than 2 versions of the current service update. You will have to apply the latest service update to stay current. |

However, you can manually apply the current service update version to other sandbox environments or your cloud-hosted environments. |
