Hello,  
I am trying to update the [SlicerDICOMwebBrowser](https://github.com/lassoan/SlicerDICOMwebBrowser) to it’s latest commit.  
I followed the directions of  
[Update extension through the extension manager](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/SlicerApplication/ExtensionsManager#Updating_installed_extensions) but I still didn’t get the latest commit.  
Is there a way or some documentation on how to update a slicer extension to it’s latest commit through the python console?

Thank you

Extensions are updated once a day, which is during the night in EST. In Europe, this is during the day, in the morning, so you can expect to get the new extension versions by afternoon.
