02/16/2026, 5:13 PMmain on GitHub does not automatically appear in your running instance. The knowledge sources indicate you need to: 1. Build/publish the new connector image For custom or updated connectors, you must build a new Docker image and make it available to your deployment (local registry, Docker Hub, etc.). [[Trouble updating low-code](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/6622); [Developing locally 2.0](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/2.0/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#connector-contributions)] Example (from a similar Pardot case, but same idea): bash docker build . -t airbyte/source-<name>:<tag> Then push it to a registry your Airbyte instance can pull from. [[Pardot source](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/605)] 2. Point Airbyte to that new image version In the OSS UI you update the connector’s Docker image tag / version: - Go to Workspace settings → Sources (or Destinations). - Find your connector and click the edit button. - Change the Default Version / Docker image tag to the new version you built/pushed. - Save. [[Custom connectors](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/custom-connectors); [Managing connector updates](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/managing-airbyte/connector-updates#actions-to-take-in-response-to-connector-updates)] 3. Upgrade each existing source instance if needed Updating the catalog entry doesn’t automatically bump all existing sources; you upgrade them individually: - Go to Sources in the nav. - Open each source instance. - Click Upgrade and confirm. [[Updating custom connector](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/5353); [Managing connector updates](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/managing-airbyte/connector-updates#actions-to-take-in-response-to-connector-updates)] Because of this model, simply seeing a PR merged to airbytehq/airbyte 5 days ago is not enough for your OSS instance to use that version—you either need to: - Wait for an official connector image release that your instance pulls, and then change the version in Workspace settings → Sources, or - Build and use your own image as above. The knowledge sources do not mention any “refresh definitions” button that would pull the latest main from GitHub into an existing OSS deployment, so I can’t point you to such a control.Bryan Meyerovich
