From 3b374b09df1a35ced459361d31d679d7a0cc8a98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Scott Rifenbark Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2018 14:28:52 -0700 Subject: sdk-manual: Updates to sections for updating installed Ext SDKs There are two sections that deal with this topic. One is from the standpoint of a user using a 3rd party published and installed extensible SDK ("Applying Updates to an Installed Extensible SDK"). The other is from the standpoint of a person providing Extensible SDKs for consumption ("Providing Updates to the Extensible SDK After Installation"). These sections needed some closer examination regarding fully describing what was going on. I provided some re-writes to both.
