-Running `ng update` will check for changes in all the auto-generated files created by `ng new` and allow you to update yours. You are offered four choices for each changed file: `y` (overwrite), `n` (don't overwrite), `d` (show diff between your file and the updated file) and `h` (help).
-
-Carefully read the diffs for each code file, and either accept the changes or incorporate them manually after `ng update` finishes.

-**The main cause of errors after an update is failing to incorporate these updates into your code**.
