How should we confirm that we are using the latest version of Jekyll?

Running `jekyll -v` will output the Jekyll version. You can compare that with the latest version on the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/releases).

Generallly `bundle update` will fetch all latest gems except if your Gemfile says otherwise.

Run `bundle update jekyll` — or `gem update jekyll` if you don’t use bundler (but you really should).

If you use GitHub pages, you can check versions with `github-pages versions`  
it should output the same table as here: [https://pages.github.com/versions/](https://pages.github.com/versions/)
