Description
Would it be possible to add an check for updates selection to the help menu. When the IDE started it said an update was available and I selected no. Then decided I wanted the update but I can find no way to get to the update short of downloading the newer version from the web page. Restarting the IDE does not prompt for an update.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the IDE's Help menu and the startup update prompt described in the issue. Trace how the IDE detects and presents available updates, then define completion as a manual Help-menu check that can offer an update after the startup prompt was declined.
