Bendy: Joey Drew Studios Updated Employee Handbook, abbreviated as JDSUEH, is an upgraded version of the original guidebook, Joey Drew Studios Employee Handbook, that was previously released on July 30, 2019. It was published on February 6, 2024 by Scholastic on paperback and Kindle.

This update is meant to accommodate the release of Bendy and the Dark Revival. However, for unknown reasons, some pages from the pre-update guidebook were omitted in this version, including two pages of obscured Bendy Land attraction drawings.
