Open the same list from two places

Choose Available patches in the main menu or select Updates available on Overview. Both open the same list across all active servers you can access. The Overview count and the unfiltered list use the same scope and candidate rules.

Find the exact candidate

Search packages and filter by server, priority or status. Each row shows its server, package, architecture where applicable, installed and candidate versions, priority and eligibility. Pagination reaches all matching candidates and keeps the total visible.

Check freshness and review changes

Offline servers can show last-known candidates with their age and repository status. Unknown coverage, stale inventory, held packages and a verified empty list have distinct states. Follow a row to its server and use the exact-version review to queue eligible updates.
