Velatir for Desktop is deployed once per device. After that, settings, detection rules, browser policy, and new versions all arrive through the agent’s own update path, so there is no customer-specific installer to maintain.

Update channels

Open Setup in the dashboard and find Updates & versions. Pick the channel your devices follow: Each channel shows the version it resolves to today.

Give a workspace its own channel

The channel you pick is the Default channel. It applies to every device unless a workspace overrides it. For example, you can put your IT team on bleeding edge and keep everyone else on stable.

Add an override

Under Workspace overrides, select Add override.

Pick the workspace and channel

Choose a Workspace and a Channel. For Pinned, also choose the Version. Devices in that workspace, and in any workspace under it, follow this channel instead of the default.

Check it reached the right devices

Each override shows how many devices follow it, and the list shows how many follow the default.
To send a workspace back to the default, remove its override. You can also set the channel from the Updates row of each workspace under Workspaces, where Inherit follows the parent workspace or the default.
An override reaches a device only when Velatir can place that device in a workspace. The device needs a recent agent version, and either a workspace ingest key or directory context. Devices Velatir cannot place follow the default channel.

Safe defaults

If a device cannot fetch its configuration, the agent keeps running in a safe state and picks up its settings at the next successful sync. The capabilities that run after a sync are independent of each other:
  • device identity and heartbeat
  • local AI app detection
  • directory context
  • browser policy
  • update and health reporting
This lets you deploy the agent and see your devices before you turn on anything else.

Staged updates

New versions roll out in stages and are checked for health along the way, so a release reaches the fleet gradually. The device keeps the previous version until the new one is confirmed running. Each device reports its version, health, browser coverage, and last update outcome. Velatir uses these to pause an unhealthy rollout and to investigate a device without a reinstall.

What you need to provide

One organisation ingest key. Platform and architecture decide which installer you use. Everything else is configured from the dashboard after installation.
