What does performing updates typically require?

Performing updates usually necessitates a restart of the application and signing back in. This is because many software updates involve changes that cannot be activated while the application is running. Restarting allows the application to load the new updates correctly and ensures that any modifications take effect. Additionally, signing back in is often required to ensure that the user is authenticated and can access all features associated with the updated version.

While installation of new software might be needed in some instances, it is not a standard requirement for all updates. A shutdown of all related systems is typically excessive unless the updates are particularly extensive or critical. Notification to all personnel can be important for certain updates, especially in organizational contexts, but it is not an inherent requirement for performing all updates. Thus, the restarting of the application and re-authentication aligns closely with the necessary steps to effectively implement updates.
