How to Check for Joomla Extension Updates
Open Extensions Update
Go to System → Update → Extensions. This lists available updates for installed extensions that support Joomla's update system.
Refresh available updates
Select Find Updates to query configured update sites again.
Review versions
Compare Installed and Available versions, extension identity, and changelog before updating.
Understand missing updates
An extension may be absent if it does not use Joomla's update system, its update site is disabled or broken, or its update metadata does not match the current Joomla/PHP/database environment.
Check Update Sites
Open System → Update → Update Sites and confirm the expected source is enabled and belongs to a trusted provider.
Check vendor requirements
Review compatibility, dependencies, migration notes, and required intermediate versions on the developer's current documentation.
Back up
Take a restorable files-and-database backup before production updates.
Verify
After updating, confirm the installed version and test the extension's important Administrator and frontend functions.
