docs(desktop): match the update guide to the current title-bar pill and Updates tab - #2276
Verified against Comfy-Desktop origin/main at v1.1.9 (#1944): src/main/lib/updater.ts, src/main/index.ts (comfy-window:click-app-update-pill), src/renderer/src/comfyTitleBar/useUpdatePills.ts, src/renderer/src/comfyTitlePopup/globalSettings/UpdatesSection.vue, locales/en.json, locales/zh.json. The Windows and macOS pages include this guide as <UpdateGuide />, so both pages change with it.
What was wrong
The shared update guide (rendered on /installation/desktop/windows and /installation/desktop/macos) still described the v1.0 update flow:
It said a Desktop Update Ready button appears and clicking it restarts and installs. The pill now has three states, and clicking it opens a confirmation with Restart & Update and Later.
It listed Restart & Update as a row inside the Settings panel. It is the card's primary button, and only once the file is downloaded.
It never mentioned that the update applies on its own (on quit on macOS, at the next launch on Windows), which is what makes Later safe.
It said nothing about the toggle also stopping the background download.
It did not mention that clicking the pill while a download runs opens Desktop Settings.
What changed
Rewrote the guide around the current behaviour: three pill states, the confirmation, and the per-platform timing of the automatic install.
The Settings → Updates card is described as it renders today: status line, installed version, last check, latest version, and a primary button that follows the state.
Clear wording for turning automatic installs off: the pill becomes Desktop Update and the card shows Update … available only in that mode.
The Chinese page now uses the labels the Chinese UI ships (桌面端更新已就绪, 自动安装桌面端更新, 更新 tab, 重启并更新, 稍后), matching zh/installation/desktop/faq.mdx.
Screenshot
images/desktop/installation/install_update_2-2.png is replaced with a 1440x900 whole-window capture of Desktop Settings, Updates tab, from a local build of v1.1.9 (English UI).
The other two figures in this guide are removed: both were v1.0.x captures of screens that no longer exist (install_update_1.png showed the old window around the pill, install_update_2-1.png showed the old Settings menu path). They are unreferenced elsewhere. The pill itself is transient and cannot be staged in the capture build, so the guide documents its states in text and keeps one current figure of the manual check.
Languages
EN, zh, ja, ko and es in this PR. ja, ko and es keep the English UI labels (the shell ships en and zh only), matching the rest of those locales.
Update follow-up: the toggle does not stop the download
Reviewing the merged FAQ answer on the same page set surfaced a second defect. @todesktop/runtime downloads on every check (checkAndDownload() in dist/autoUpdater/updaterAgents.js, called from _actuallyPerformCheck), and src/main/lib/updater.ts only gates the install (syncInstallOnAppQuit off, startup install skipped with auto_install_disabled). So "Automatically install Desktop updates" never stops the background download.
The guide and the FAQ's Off bullet now say the update still downloads, nothing applies on quit or at the next launch, and the pill waits for Restart & Update.
The FAQ answer for "Can I turn off update checks?" is corrected in all five languages. It is the only place that claimed the toggle stops downloading.

Walkthrough
The Desktop update guides and FAQs in English, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese now describe update-check timing, automatic installation, platform-specific application timing, title-bar actions, and manual update steps.
Changes: Desktop update guides
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Update guide content across locales snippets/desktop/update.mdx, snippets/{es,ja,ko,zh}/desktop/update.mdx, installation/desktop/faq.mdx, {es,ja,ko,zh}/installation/desktop/faq.mdx
The guides describe when Desktop checks for updates, how automatic installation works on macOS and Windows, and how title-bar actions behave. They also explain the Updates tab, status-dependent actions, download progress, and the effect of disabling automatic installation. The FAQs now say that updates still download in the background when automatic installation is off, but users must choose Restart & Update to apply them.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 1cf81
The documentation is mergeable with minor corrections: explain the available-update pill and clarify that Later only permits automatic installation when that setting is enabled. No application behavior changes are involved.

The guide presents the title-bar pill as moving directly from Downloading update… to Desktop Update Ready, without describing the Desktop Update available state referenced by the existing Desktop overview. If that state is still reachable, the new description omits an update action.
A reader may not recognize the available-update pill or know that it offers a download.
This can occur when: An update is available but has not started downloading, such as after an unsuccessful automatic download.

- **On**: a new version downloads in the background and installs without asking. The title bar shows **Downloading update…** while it downloads, then **Desktop Update Ready** when the update is ready to apply.
- **Off**: Comfy Desktop still checks and still tells you, but it stops downloading on its own. The title bar shows a **Desktop Update** pill instead, and clicking it downloads the update and offers to restart.
- **Off**: the update still downloads in the background, but nothing installs on its own. It does not apply on quit or at the next launch: click the **Desktop Update Ready** pill and choose **Restart & Update**.
