--- Comment #1 from TraceyC <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for the feature request! There are two distinct requests being made. To
summarize:

1. Wanting Discover to still show updates after they have been downloaded
2. Wanting Discover to show what was just downloaded after updating manually
while the system still needs a restart.

Can you clarify something for case #1? In the attached screenshot, in the
terminal, I see you had run `sudo dnf update`. That performed the actual
update, rather than just checking for updates.

`dnf check-update` is what you want to run to check for updates without
installing them. After running that, and checking Discover, the pending updates
are still listed. If you do this and refresh Discover, it will indeed show no
updates available, because they have already been installed. Can you clarify if
this matches what you did? If not, can you walk us through what you did
exactly, step by step? I'd like to understand how to get to the state where
updates have been downloaded but aren't showing up in Discover - updates.

I tested this with Discover set to auto-update on Fedora 42 Plasma 6.4.3
122 updates shown in Discover before and after performing those steps

1. I ran `dnf upgrade --downloadonly` and then `dnf check-upgrade` which still
showed the list of packages to be installed.
2. I refreshed the update list in Discover, it still showed the same amount of
updates available

For case #2 where you're manually triggering updates, wouldn't the simple
solution be to check the update list before triggering the update? Can you help
us understand what would justify the work needed to make an additional section,
when there's an existing way to get this information?

Thanks!
