"New version available" update bell in apps.diagrams.net deployment

[Xentelcorp]

Web apps usually push out the latest version, but it appears that with this feature, you can... choose whether or not to use the latest release? The frequency at which this bell lights up and demands a page refresh is enough to be annoying, so an auto update or release channel selection would be nice.
Why was this feature added instead of just saying "download the version you want then"?
If I block this element, will I miss security patches?

👋 Thank you for opening this issue!

Summary: The user finds the "new version available" update bell notification on apps.diagrams.net to be annoyingly frequent and is asking whether it can be auto-applied instead, whether a release channel selection could be offered, and whether blocking the notification element would cause them to miss security patches.

📝 Additional Information Needed

To help us investigate this more effectively, could you please provide:

• deployment details: It's unclear whether the user is using the public apps.diagrams.net web app, a self-hosted deployment, or the desktop app. The title mentions 'apps.diagrams.net deployment' but clarification would help.
• browser/OS: No browser or operating system information provided, which could be relevant if the update notification behavior varies by environment.

We also have some questions:

• Are you using the public apps.diagrams.net web app, a self-hosted instance, or the draw.io desktop application?
• The apps.diagrams.net web app is a client-side application served via a service worker/cache, and the update bell notifies you that a new cached version is available — refreshing loads the new version. Are you asking for a way to suppress this notification, or for the app to auto-reload silently?
• To answer your security question: if you block the update notification element, the underlying app code will still be the old cached version until you do a hard refresh or clear the service worker cache. You would not automatically receive security patches until the page is fully reloaded with the new version.
