With the game you want to update still selected, press the options button on your controller.  Scroll down to the “check for update” option in the menu that pops up. If there is an update available, you’ll get a notification that reads, “An update file for this application is available.”  You’ll then be prompted to go to the downloads screen.  Press “X” on the controller to access the screen. If the game doesn’t need an update, the PS4 will let you know. At the downloads screen, you’ll see a full list of all updates available for your apps and games.  Select the game you want to update by pressing “X” on the controller, then confirm your decision to update the game.  Updates take time.  The amount of time they take to install depends upon the size of the update file. You can play games while the update installs.

SUMMARY: Select the application you want to update in the main menu. Check for updates through the options menu. Go to downloads if the game is ready for an update. Select the game and begin the download.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Your leveler should be deep enough that it spans 3 stairs. Put the end of your measuring tape on the inner edge of any stair and pull it out so that it measures the depth of 3 stairs. You may want to use a level to make sure that you are holding the measuring tape straight when you pull it out. Hold the end of your measuring tape against the surface of 1 of your stairs. Set a level on the 2nd stair up from that one (so that there is 1 stair between them) and measure the distance between the lower stair and where the level sticks out from the higher stair. This will be the height of your leveler’s legs. Use measuring tape to find the width of your stairs. Your platform should be about 6–10 inches (15–25 cm) narrower than the width of the stairs, to allow for some room to step around it while it’s in place. For instance, if your stairs are 3 feet (0.91 m) wide, your platform should be no wider than 2.5 feet (0.76 m). Use a circular saw or miter saw to cut legs that are as long as the height you measured with the level and measuring tape. You may want to use a speed square to make sure you are cutting in a straight line. Use plywood that is thick enough to support your weight, at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) and medium density. Use a ruler to trace a straight line where you will cut, or fasten a board over the plywood to use as a guide while you cut. The platform should be the width of your stairs minus 6–10 inches (15–25 cm), and the depth of 3 stairs. Place the legs that you cut in 2 corners of the platform. The legs will support half of the platform while the other half is supported by a stair. Use a carpenter’s pencil to trace where the legs will go on the platform, and drill 2 holes inside both of the spaces you traced.  The edge of each leg should be flush with the edge of the platform, and the width of the legs should be running parallel to each other. You may want to use a countersink drill to make your holes, which will make a slight depression around the hole and allow the top of the screw to be flush with the board instead of sticking out slightly. This is especially useful if you are working on wooden stairs and don’t want to scuff the wood. Use a drill to screw through the pilot holes in the platform and into the tops of the 2 legs. You may find it helpful to clamp another board onto your work surface to use as a brace when you screw the legs in. You can brace the leg against the clamped board while holding the platform against it and inserting the screws. To make your leveler more stable, it’s a good idea to put support boards between the legs. Measure the width between the 2 legs to find out how long your support boards should be. Using a circular saw or miter saw, cut 2 boards to fit the width between the legs. These will be your support boards, which will keep the legs from wobbling when you use the leveler. The 1st support board will go at the top of the legs against the platform. Make 2 pilot holes in each leg where you will fasten the 1st support board in place. These braces should be about 4 inches (10 cm) long. They will fit between the 1st and 2nd support boards, and will attach to the insides of the legs. In other words, the 2 support boards and 2 braces will form a rectangle inside the legs. Put the braces in place without screwing them in yet, and place the 2nd support board on top of them. Drill 2 pilot holes in each leg where it will attach to the 2nd support board, then screw the board into place. Screw the 2 braces into the legs with 2 screws each. The braces should attach to the legs with 1 screw towards the top and 1 screw towards the bottom. Drill pilot holes through the braces first from the inside, then use screws to attach them to the legs. These boards will serve as safety rails to keep your ladder from slipping off the platform. Cut 2 boards that are as long as the width of your platform, and 2 boards that are as long as the depth minus 2 inches (5.1 cm). They should fit on the edges of the top of the platform. Drill pilot holes through the safety rails in at least 2 points per rail. Then put a layer of wood glue on the bottom of each safety rail, set the rails in place, and use screws to fasten them to the platform. Once the wood glue has dried, you can set your leveler at any point on the stairs and use it as a platform. Prop an extension ladder on the leveler and brace it against the wall.

SUMMARY:
Measure the depth of 3 stairs. Use a level and measuring tape to find the height your leveler should be. Measure the width of your stairs. Cut legs for your platform from 2- by 4-inch (5.1-cm x 10.2-cm) boards. Cut a platform out of thick plywood using a circular saw and a guide. Mark where the legs will go on the platform and drill the holes. Use screws to fasten the legs to the platform. Measure the distance between the legs for support boards. Cut two 2- by 4-inch (5.1-cm x 10.2-cm) boards to fit between the legs. Drill pilot holes in the legs and screw the first support board into place. Cut two 2- by 4-inch (5.1-cm x 10.2-cm) boards to brace the 2nd support board. Set the 2nd support board on top of the braces and fasten it to the legs. Cut four 1- by 2-inch (2.5-cm x 5.1-cm) boards to fit the edges of the platform. Use wood glue and screws to attach the safety rails to the edges of the platform.
