With the Shortcuts app, there isn’t any way to push out an update to an existing Shortcut you’ve already shared. Maybe you found a quicker way to do something or you fixed a bug that affected a weird use case, but the people who have already downloaded your Shortcut may never know there’s a newer, better version.
That’s what UpdateKit is for. UpdateKit is a simple(-ish) drop-in module that you can use to check for and prompt the user to install updates for your Shortcut. It’s got a lot of neat little bells and whistles, like the ability to show update notes to your users!
UpdateKit is actually it’s own Shortcut, you just call it using the Run Shortcut action in your own (there’s a little more to it, but that’s the idea).
