# Collector management

Nexthink offers an easy-to-use Collector management and update tool. To keep all the components up to date on all supported operating systems and reduce administrative tasks, the Nexthink instance periodically checks if a new version is available and schedules updates when necessary.

For more information about Nexthink collectors, refer to the [Understanding Collector](/platform/configuring_nexthink/bringing-data-into-your-nexthink-instance/deploying-nexthink-in-non-vdi-environment/installing-collector/collector-overview.md) documentation.
