            Bug ID: 127849
           Summary: No automatic extension updates for Flatpak
                    installations
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.2.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: thecaspers at tutanota.com

Description:
LibreOffice has an online update feature that can be accessed through the
application menu: Help - Check for Updates. The updater also checks for updates
to extensions, although this is not documented. (See
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113015 for details.)

Automatic updates are normally configured through Tools - Options - LibreOffice
- Online Update. For a standard installation, turning on automatic updates also
allows LibreOffice to automatically check for updates to extensions.

However, in a Flatpak installation of LibreOffice, the online update and
automatic update features are absent from the application. Although extensions
can still be manually updated through the Extension Manager, LibreOffice lacks
a way to automatically check for updates to extensions in a Flatpak
installation.

It would be great if Flatpak installations of LibreOffice could also
automatically check for updates to extensions.

(This issue might also apply to Snap installations, although I have not
personally confirmed this.)

Steps to Reproduce:
Install LibreOffice through Flatpak.

Actual Results:
Unlike standard installations of LibreOffice, there is no way to automatically
check for updates to extensions in the Flatpak installation.

Expected Results:
There should be a way to automatically check for updates to extensions in the
Flatpak installation. Ideally, this would be implemented in "Help - Check for
Updates" and "Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Online Update".


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
