Currently we have to many places where one can go to look for updates, I would like to propose to unify all these different places into one. Because as a result, a user is currently presented with this message:

This message links to two different pages, which is quite confusing. More confusing is probably the duplication of information. This kind of messaging is not uncommon, when several conditions apply it often gets even more messier, creating a big error shown everywhere. For example:

Therefor I propose that beside fixing the messaging we move to a model where all updates on:

  • admin/modules/update
  • admin/appearance/update
  • admin/reports/updates

Is moved to :

This page should be similar to admin/reports/updates/update , but with an updated design to reflect some of the information found on other update pages.

    Can't find the similar issues but I know there are at least a few for improving the UX of this, so I wonder if they can be merged.

    Replacing the "update manager" pages entirely via autoupdates and project browser would help. Then we'd be back to a single "Available updates" report. I'm not keen on spending any energy improving the UIs that should be deprecated and removed.

    And yeah, there are a bunch of issues to improve the UI of just the available updates report itself...

    Tempted to call this "outdated" at this point, although neither project browser nor autoupdates are actually ready to add to core, so it's a murky area.
