            Bug ID: 111873
           Summary: Check For Updates not available if no document open
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: brendan.simon at etrix.com.au

Description:
The `Check For Updates` menu item is not available, because the `Help` menu is
not shown, unless I open a document (existing or new).

I should not be forced to open a document to check for updates.

A lot of macOS apps have this in the application menu.

Some other applications (e.g. FireFox, Thunderbird) have the check for update
as a separate button in the `About` dialog.  I don't necessarily suggest this,
but it's an option (event though it's a two step process).

There may be other operations that also could benefit from being visible
without requiring a document to be open.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice (without any documents open).
2. No way to check if there are any updates.

Actual Results:  
No `Check For Updates` menu item is available.

Expected Results:
I would expect to be able to search for updates at any time, whether or not any
documents are open.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No
