Hello everyone, I am a Discourse beginner, and I would like to ask: after successfully deploying Discourse, I see an updatable version in the admin panel. I found two upgrade methods: 1. Via SSH, enter the Discourse directory and run \`./launcher rebuild app\` to upgrade and update. 2. Via Discourse Admin - Updates - Update Discourse. What is the difference between these two methods? Which upgrade method should be prioritized? Thank you.
