macOS 10.14.2 Update: Download without installing?

[getrealbro]

Does the new macOS update System Preference allow me to download an update, save it and update later?
In other words, can I download the update once and use it to update multiple Macs?

Thanks in Advance — GetRealBro

Yes, it seems so: I had to ask the download to proceed after downloading.
;JOOP!

You sure can. You can download something called a combo update from Apples website. These updates contain all in-release updates, so a Mac running, say 10.13 can be updated to 10.13.6 with just one update.

The one for macOS Mojave 10.14.2 can be found here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1987

You can always google for these combo updates, when Apple releases an update. Just make sure to only download from Apples website

Thanks Sciuriware & Lunder89,

FWIW I was expecting the update to show up at https://support.apple.com/downloads/macos

You are welcome.
I think the combo update for 10.14.2 will show up, the previous update for 10.14.1 is there. Might just take Apple a little time to update that part of their site.

I looked for a 10.14.2 "combo updater" this morning, but it doesn't seem to be posted yet.
Should become available before too much longer.

FWIW here are the direct links for the Mojave 10.14.2…

simple updater — https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1986?locale=en_US

and

combo updater — https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1987?locale=en_US. (that Lunder89 already posted).
