            Bug ID: 136651
           Summary: LO installed from .deb file should tell user if there
                    is a new version available.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation

If I install Discord from .deb file, I don't have to worry if there is new
version available. I don't have to manually check it myself.

And if users don't like to update the app, they can uncheck the "check update
in a startup" option.

I think we should have something similar when it comes LO too. It can be a time
savior. 

Currently, I have installed Snap's version of LO which is the latest. I have to
uninstall LO which I had installed APT repository since its too old. 

Problem is, Snaps run slow in comparison to APT or .deb file which is download
from LO official website.

But sadly, LO never tells the user if there is a new version available and not
to mention giving a popup option to redirect users to download a new .deb file
(like Discord). 


This can be a time savior, very user friendly and common thing to provide.
Discord is not just one app that does this.
