Linux Patch Management Enhancements and Upcoming Mac Patching Preview

We’re excited to share an update to Linux Patch Management, along with a preview of what’s coming next as we continue to expand and mature our patching capabilities across platforms.


New: Completed Patches View (with Export Support)



We’ve introduced a Completed Patches view within Linux Patch Management, giving you clear visibility into patch activity that has already been successfully applied across your environment.

This new view allows you to:

  • See a consolidated list of completed Linux patches
  • Filter and review historical patch activity
  • Export patch data for reporting and auditing purposes

Initial export support is available for up to 10,000 rows, making it easier to share patch outcomes with stakeholders or retain records for compliance and operational review, larger exports will be available in future.


Coming Soon

We’re actively working on additional enhancements that will continue to improve visibility, control, and consistency across patch workflows. The following features are coming soon:

  • Pending / Scheduled Patches Tab
    A dedicated view to track patches that are queued or scheduled for deployment across all your assets making it easier to see what is happening at a glance.
  • Patch Policies
    Policy-based patching to help standardise patch behaviour and reduce manual effort across managed environments.
  • Mac Patching
    Native macOS patching support as part of our broader cross-platform patch management strategy.

Mac Patching Preview – Register Your Interest

We’re preparing an early preview of Mac Patching, and we’re inviting partners to take part.

If you’d like to register your interest in joining the Mac Patching preview, please email:

chris.dunsmore@n-able.com

Participants in the preview will help validate new macOS-specific functionality, including:

  • Volume Ownership support
    Ensuring patching workflows align with modern macOS security and ownership models.
  • End-user interactive reboot controls
    Giving users appropriate control and visibility during reboot-required patch scenarios.

Feedback from the preview group will play a key role in shaping the final Mac Patching experience before we release to public preview.
