## Diagnostics for Integration & Device
## Check for updates
To make debugging and reporting issues easier, both in terms of reporting it,
but also for developers to fix them, we have introduce an new feature:
Diagnostics.
A common question, directly seen after a Home Assistant Core, Operating System,
or add-on release announcement: "I don't see the update yet? How do I update?"
Diagnostics can be provided by integrations, to allow you to download
information about your integration instance or a device, directly from the
Home Assistant frontend.
Checking for updates is done by your system - every few hours - automatically.
However, at times you want to check for updates, without waiting for
this to happen.
This made us realize that doing that was scattered and hidden in several places
depending on which part you wanted to check updates for. Therefore, we
have added a nice and simple "Check for updates" button in the main
configuration screen.

Checking for any update, is now just a single click.

This data can be extremely helpful in finding the root causes of issues
and getting them fixed.
This feature is currently available for the Home Assistant OS,
and Home Assistant Supervisor installation methods.
