+Troubleshooting Workstation Updates
+===================================
+
+This section includes some general troubleshooting instructions for common workstation
+update issues. For additional, version-specific issues and recommended actions,
+please see the relevant admin upgrade guide.
+
+Performing a manual update
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Sometimes, when an update doesn't go according to plan, it's necessary to perform a 
+manual update and clear the update flag.
+
+If the graphical updater fails and you want to perform a manual update instead,
+first delete the graphical updater's temporary flag file, if it exists (the
+``.`` before ``securedrop`` is not a typo): ::
+
+  rm ~/Persistent/.securedrop/securedrop_update.flag
+
+This will prevent the graphical updater from attempting to re-apply the failed
+update and has no bearing on future updates. You can now perform a manual
+update by running the following commands: ::
+
+  cd ~/Persistent/securedrop
+  git fetch --tags
+  gpg --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org --recv-key \
+   "2359 E653 8C06 13E6 5295 5E6C 188E DD3B 7B22 E6A3"
+  git tag -v 2.6.1
+
+The output should include the following two lines: ::
+
+    gpg:                using RSA key 2359E6538C0613E652955E6C188EDD3B7B22E6A3
+    gpg: Good signature from "SecureDrop Release Signing Key <securedrop-release-key-2021@freedom.press>" [unknown]
+
+
+Please verify that each character of the fingerprint above matches what is
+on the screen of your workstation. A warning that the key is not certified
+is normal and expected. If the output includes the lines above, you can check
+out the new release: ::
+
+    git checkout 2.6.1
+
+.. important:: If you do see the warning "refname '2.6.1' is ambiguous" in the
+  output, we recommend that you contact us immediately at securedrop@freedom.press
+  (`GPG encrypted <https://securedrop.org/sites/default/files/fpf-email.asc>`__).
+
+Finally, run the following commands: ::
+
+  ./securedrop-admin setup
+  ./securedrop-admin tailsconfig
