What is Templafy Desktop?
Templafy Desktop consists of three main parts, each explained below:
1. The desktop host
This is the MSI that is delivered by Templafy and is installed by client IT - typically via SCCM.
For more information about deployment of Templafy Desktop, please read here.
2. The desktop client
The desktop client version is controlled from the Templafy admin site. When the MSI (host) is installed, it will connect to Templafy and download the client.
3. Templafy Desktop package
When the client is installed, it will connect to Templafy and download active Desktop package containing primarily the Templafy add-in files which it will then distribute on the client PC.

Checking for updates
Templafy Desktop checks for automatic updates:
- at every reboot or start
- If the PC is never turned off, a scheduled check for updates will attempt to start at midnight (local time)
- If the PC is in sleep or hibernation, then the scheduled update will run when the PC wakes
