A useful reminder: stay time to update instead of \”when you have time\” Update
A prompt that may be useful for your store update:
Do not occasionally or \”when you have time\” to update -instead, leave a special time every week or month, Take it as a priority
. If you do not take the maintenance of the store as a priority, then you may ignore it and change to support what you think is more important. This may not cause any problems at first, but in the long run, it may be very harmful. Clean your calendar (well, just a little bit): You will want to leave time for these updates.
If you need,
Set a period of time for your update
. The emergence and length of these update cycles should be based on the number of extensions you have and when it is most convenient for you. (Therefore, if you have dozens of extensions, then one or two hours every two weeks may be better than 15 minutes per month.)
