      Note: This action will uninstall the extension from your machine, and you will receive a notification in your Creative Cloud desktop app. 
  3. Once you uninstall from My exchange, download the appropriate installer from the Maps for Adobe product page.  
  4. Start the installation and follow on-screen instructions. 
    Note: If you are not an administrator on your local Windows machine, you can install the extension just for yourself. 
  5. Open Illustrator and re-check the version number.

      Updating via in-app upgrade notification:
