Update status

The Update status module periodically checks for new versions of your site's software (including contributed modules and themes), and alerts you to available updates.

The report of available updates will alert you when new releases are available for download. You may configure options for update checking frequency and notifications at the Update status module settings page.

Please note that in order to provide this information, anonymous usage statistics are sent to drupal.org. If desired, you may disable the Update status module from the module administration page.

For more information, see the online handbook entry for Update status module.
