[The Hub] Indication whether plugin/theme updates are automated.

1

This would be really useful when hovering over a site and within the Plugins & Themes menu, to show whether a manual update is required or if the update will be made automatically.

    Hello Kate !

    Hope you’re doing well!

    Can you share some more details on how you’d like this feature to work? Maybe a quick sketch on a screenshot that we can share with the Hub team to consider adding the feature?

    In general this sounds interesting so we’d like to gather as much information as possible :)

    Kind regards,
    Pawel

    I’ve recently moved over from ManageWP and the way they did it was with a little clock symbol on the Dashboard (as in the attached image, on the right of All-in-One WP Migration, before the versions).

    It’s a really simple feature, but I found it so helpful as it just reminded me to plan the update in to my work schedule, or if the update would be taken care of automatically. It can be difficult to remember which plugins I’ve deemed safe to update without backing up immediately beforehand and performing visual checks etc. It would be especially useful on the popup when you hover over the updates symbol in the Sites screen.
