Auto-check & update a macro from the Cloud in RunMacro

What it does

The Check Update pmacro command checks and downloads the latest macro from the Cloud (a configured Gist) at run time. It can update just the current file, or the main file plus all related sub-macros. If the running file is updated, RunMacro reloads the new version.

When to use it

Ensure you always run the newest macro version.
Update many machines running the same macro from the Cloud.
Sync the latest edits before executing.

Configuration steps

Configure the Cloud/Gist in RunMacro settings first.
Add a Debug › Check Update pmacro command at the start of the script.
Choose the mode: current file (with sub-macros) or a specific file. Save.

Every option explained

Mode (current / select)

Update the running file, or a macro file you specify.

Update all sub-macros

In current mode: recursively update the main file and all related sub-macros.

File path (select mode)

The macro file to check for updates in select mode.

Real example

Example: always run the latest version

Place Check Update pmacro (current mode, with sub-macros) at the top.
If the Cloud has a newer version, RunMacro fetches and runs it immediately.

Tips & common mistakes

Requires a configured Gist ID (and token for private Gists) in settings; with no network it skips and continues.
