- # 29874
Steps to reproduce the issue
install Joomla 4 beta 1
upgrade the FILES ONLY to Joomla 4 beta 2
Totally forget there might be schema changes
Expected result
That something slaps you in the face to alert you that there are schema updates to apply
Actual result
Well the actual result is the same as its ever been - nothing slaps you in the face unless you go looking for it, however there is the perfect opportunity for a new quick icon in this screen:
The code is already written for the JSON endpoint to get the data as its used elsewhere:
It just needs the quick icon created

The update files only approach is not supported also also has other issues like missing script execution as well as missing insert queriey. etc. The only supported upgrade path is via com_joomlaupdate and this should not be changed in my view.
Well what's the point in having a schema checker then ;-) haha The fact is it can and does happen...
502 sites out of 63,603 sites in mySites.guru currently have a schema mismatch with the version they are running.
There is a "Joomla is up to date" icon, but Joomla is not actually up to date unless the schema version matches...
As mention there are valid cases thats the reason i would not oppose a PR.
well its already checking on the system page and if someone is going to bother addressing the fact we have tonnes of "quick icons that are not quick icons" then this can be addressed then.
Closing for now.

This does not oppose the possibel quick icon. Can you create one and send the PR based on the json api you mention? I personally would think that this would be than maybe an optional by default disabled icon but could make sense in some cases of development sites. What does others think?
