[Resolved] Updating via Commercial Tab or Standard Plugin Updates

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to know the difference between updating using Commercial tab or the Standard plugin updater menu.

Solution:

1. Are we able to continue to update our Toolset family plugins via the normal WordPress Plugin upgrade process?

A. Yes you are able to update your plugins through this method given that the plugins are registered.

2. Under what circumstances should we upgrade using the Commercial tab?

B. There isn't a specific condition under which to use the Commercial tab to update, however if you want to install a new plugin without manually downloading it. You can use here to download the additional Toolset plugins.

3. If we are required to update using the Commercial tab, how can we upgrade multiple sites using Toolset if we use a WordPress Dashboard service like ManageWP, MainWP, iThemes Sync,

A. As mentioned previously it is not required to use the Commercial tab as it serves as an option for updating but updating through the standard wordpress method will work.
