Users are discussing an issue with the “Perform upgrades here” link in the /admin section of their community, which appears even when there are no available upgrades. anon89147131 suggests modifying the feature to check for updates at regular intervals and only display the link when an update is available. Stephen mentions that the link previously only appeared for beta updates, but notes that it’s useful to have access to the /admin/upgrade page without manually typing the URL, especially for tests-passed sites that don’t need to stay on the bleeding edge. tobiaseigen proposes redesigning the link as an “Upgrade now” button located below the “You’re up to date” message, citing a visual improvement and better placement.

When you go to /admin of your community you can view the version - normal - but under the all of the information it states ‘Perform upgrades here’ and even though we have nothing to upgrade it still appears:
My idea is that every x hours/days it checks for any available updates and if it successfully views an update ready, it then shows up and doesn’t show up if there’s nothing to update.
The link previously didn’t appear unless there was a new beta available. This didn’t make sense as the default release is tests-passed for which there are multiple changes almost every day.
Tests-passed sites aren’t expected to keep upgrading to remain on the bleeding edge in lock-step with those releases, but it’s still very useful to have access to /admin/upgrade without needing to manually type in the URL.
On the dashboard, the “Perform upgrades here.” link appears to have moved closer to the stats menu tabs. If you compare my screenshot with the one in the OP, you can see it used to be more obviously be near the version number, with less space above and more space below.
An improvement might be to change this into an Upgrade now button located on the right side, below the “You’re up to date” message.
