Improve extension auto update experience #219720
Description
Problems
Inconsistent UX
Installing a specific version of an extension disables auto updating the extension. UI representing this state is not consistent when selectively enabling an extension for auto update
vs
Sometimes, it does not even show any indication that auto update is disabled for an extension
Not Intuitive
When auto update is enabled for all extension, it is not straight forward to disable auto updating an extension. One has to Install another version of an extension to do so.
Confusing Auto Update Modes
- Current set of Auto Update Modes are too confusing to understand.
-
When Auto Update is disabled, it automatically switches to Selected Extensions when user enables an extension to auto update.
-
Selected Extensions mode is too vague to understand the intention.
Solution
- Simplify Auto Update mode to Enable/Disable Auto Updating All Extensions. When Enabled all extensions will get auto updated otherwise not.
- Indicate if auto update is enabled at extension level and allow to configure it.
