Comment (by mapk):

 > Can we somehow utilize the Shiny Updates UI elements for this?

 Good question. Unfortunately, the only time Shiny Updates show up is when
 an update is needed. For auto-updates we want the possibility to turn them
 on to always be visible. For this reason, I don't think using Shiny
 updates is the right solution. Even if we added it there AND made it
 visible, the user would learn to ignore it. Then when an update was
 requested, the user may not even notice.

 One thing I noticed in the mockups was that I wasn't sure how to turn "on"
 an auto-update. So I revised the mockup a bit more. The messaging is under
 the description, and the interactive element is in its own column. Does
 this feel right, or should that be switched adding the interaction under
 the description and the status in the column?
