Hi @rapidozack
Thanks for using Yoast SEO plugin and for reaching out to us. We understand that you cannot find the update for the Yoast SEO plugin on the dashboard.
Can you confirm you are using WordPress 6.1 or newer? The update option will be shown if you use 6.1 or newer versions of WordPress, and if you use an older version of WP, you won’t notice the update option.
So we recommend you check this by clicking on the W in the top left and selecting About WordPress. If you need to update, please check with your host provider.?Please know that if you are using an older version of WordPress Core, you may experience unexpected behavior with Yoast.?

We recommend creating regular backups of your site and database for the health and safety of your site. This is especially important before updating WordPress. It provides you with a safety net in case something were to go wrong. Learn more about?the benefits of regular backups.
We hope this helps in the right direction.
