Description:
This document explains how to upgrade NITRO Studio in existing activated SharePoint Online site collections.
There are two upgrade options:
- Upgrade NITRO Studio for a single site collection
- Upgrade NITRO Studio for multiple site collections
The upgrade process updates the NITRO Studio Modern UI solutions and ensures all activated sites are running the latest version.
Option 1: Upgrade a Single Site Collection
Step 1: Open NITRO Studio
Navigate to an activated NITRO site.
Method 1
Click: Settings (Gear Icon) → Crow Canyon NITRO Studio

Method 2
Open the following URL directly:
https://<SiteCollectionURL>/SitePages/NITROStudio.aspx?env=WebView

Step 2: Locate Setup button on NITRO Studio Page
Setup updates the latest NITRO Studio packages and Modern UI solutions in the SharePoint App Catalog, making them available for site collection upgrades. It does not upgrade the site collections themselves.
On the NITRO Studio page, locate the Setup button.
If the button is visible, click Setup.

After clicking Setup button, below window will open


Note:
The Setup operation updates the NITRO Studio package in the tenant App Catalog. Since the App Catalog is shared across all site collections in the tenant, running Setup from any activated site collection makes the latest NITRO package available to all other activated site collections. Once the package is updated, the Setup button may no longer appear until a newer package version becomes available.
Step 3: Upgrade NITRO Studio
When upgrading to a newer NITRO Studio release:
- Click Setup first.
- Then click Update All Activated Sites or Upgrade.
This ensures the latest NITRO package is available before the site collections are upgraded.
The NITRO Studio page displays upgrade options.
Choose one of the following:
- Update All Activated Sites
This updates NITRO Studio for all activated site collections within the tenant.

This pThis process will take time, please don’t close your browser.
- Manage Multiple Sites

Below window will open

- Update Individual Site
