We would like to request a major enhancement to the software update capabilities in Recast / Liquit Application Workspace. The goal is to provide a modern, user-friendly, and flexible update experience, similar to the Software Center model used in Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, while still ensuring IT retains full control over compliance and security.
“Updates” Tab / Update Overview for End Users
Introduce a dedicated Updates section in the Workspace interface where users can view:
Available updates
Installed updates
Deadlines
Update descriptions
Required system restarts
This would greatly improve transparency and adoption.
Use Case: Improved User Experience & Reduced Friction
Users can decide when to perform non-critical updates while IT decides if the update is mandatory.
This hybrid model provides:
User autonomy
Reduced workplace frustration
Lower helpdesk load
Better scheduling around meetings and workload
Still full compliance when deadlines hit
Implementing this feature set would result in:
A modern, intuitive update workflow
Stronger security posture due to forced deadlines and push capabilities
Reduced operational workload for IT
Targeted, accurate deployments based on system inventory
Consistent user experience aligned with industry standards
More trust and transparency for end users
