Following on from the recent improvements we made earlier this month, we have added even more goodness to the FlowFuse Expert:

We have:

#### Updating the Assistant

If you are running Node-RED v4.x, head over to the Palette Manager, update the plugin and restart your instance.

If you are still running Node-RED v3.x we strogly recommend you update your stack to use Node-RED v4.x but you can
still manually update the plugin by adding `@flowfuse/nr-assistant` to the instance settings then restart it.
