Automatic Updates
---------------
Package Manager is a framework for updating Drupal core and installing contributed modules and themes via Composer. It has no user interface, but it provides an API for creating a temporary copy of the current site, making changes to the copy, and then syncing those changes back into the live site.
### Automatic Updates Initiative

Follow and read more on the [Automatic Updates Initiative overview and roadmap](https://www.drupal.org/project/ideas/issues/2940731).
### Updating contrib modules and themes
Automatic Updates includes a sub-module, Automatic Updates Extensions, which supports updating contributed modules and themes.
⚠️ ☢️️ **Automatic Updates Extensions is still experimental and under heavy development.** We encourage you to test it in your local development environment, or another low-stakes testing situation, but it is emphatically NOT ready for use in a production environment. ☢️ ⚠️
Get more details about the Package Manager module, once installed, at it help page (`admin/help/package_manager`).
