 ===Updating Add-ons Automatically and Manually===
-By default, add-ons are updated automatically.  No notification outside of the add-ons manager is given when an update occurs; only the "last updated" date of an add-on changes.
+By default, add-ons are updated automatically.  However, users can prompt for updates to be installed at any time.  On category page of add-ons will be an "Update Add-ons" button.  Clicking this prompts the add-on manager to book check for updates and install them within the title frame of the page.
-If a user wants to disable automatic updates for an add-on, they must uncheck the "Update automatically" checkbox in that add-on's preferences.  Once this box is unchecked, a button to manually check for that add-ons updates appears, through which the user can install an update.

+If the user wants to manually update add-ons, they can select this option in Preferences.  Doing so create an "Updates" pane in the add-ons manager that will display update that are available.  Instead of an "Update Add-ons" button on each category page, these users will have a "Check for Updates" button that takes them to this Update pane.  From here the user can install all available Updates, or uncheck some in order to install a partial set of available updates.
