## Update Visual Studio 2026 Installation Layout

As updates become available for Visual Studio 2026, you can run the `--layout` command again, pointing to the same layout folder, to ensure that the folder contains the latest components. Only those components that have been updated since the last time `--layout` was run will be downloaded.
