 ## Updating
-Haven't updated Quartz in a while and want all the cool new optimizations?
+Haven't updated Quartz in a while and want all the cool new optimizations? On Unix/Mac systems you can run the following command for a one-line update! This command will show you a log summary of all commits since you last updated, press `q` to acknowledge this. Then, it will show you each change in turn and press `y` to accept the patch or `n` to reject it. Usually you should press `y` for most of these unless it conflicts with existing changes you've made! 
+
+```shell
+make update
+
+# or, if you don't want the interactive parts and just want the update
+make update-force
+```
+
+Or, manually checkout the changes yourself.

-> if you customized `assets/styles/custom.scss`, the files in `data/`, or anything inside `layouts/`, your customization may be overwritten!
