50- |compass| does not install any updates without your explicit permission.
51- Instead, |compass-short| prompts you to upgrade when a new version is
52- available.
50+ If you enable auto updates and did not downgrade |compass|,
51+ |compass-short| automatically updates the application when MongoDB
52+ releases new versions. The update does not require your explicit
53+ confirmation. After your machine finishes the update, |compass-short|
54+ shows a notification suggesting that you restart the application to
55+ apply the update. |compass-short| does not apply the version update
56+ until you restart the application.
57+
58+ If you enable auto updates and downgraded |compass| by manually
59+ installing an earlier version, |compass-short| does not automatically
60+ update when MongoDB releases a new version. If a newer version is
61+ available, |compass-short| asks you to confirm that you want to install
62+ the update through a notification. You can dismiss the notification to
63+ avoid updating.
64+
65+ To update |compass-short| before the next automatic update, click
66+ :guilabel:`Check for updates` in the :guilabel:`MongoDB Compass` system
67+ menu:

73+ If an update is available, |compass-short| shows a notification that
74+ asks if you want to install and restart the application immediately.
75+
76+ While an update is in progress, |compass-short| disables the
77+ :guilabel:`Check for updates` menu option and shows that your machine is
78+ installing an update.
