What is the approach to implement the “Update now” functionality on my plugin? (reference in the picture) So, I published my plugin on WordPress, and I keep releasing new features to it periodically, I now want to provide a way for users to update the plugin whenever I release a new update. Does it require hosting my new update file somewhere on a server? Can someone please guide me on how to implement it or provide some good articles/resources on its implementation? I appreciate the help.

Haven’t done it with the SVN version, but if it’s like my selfhosted plugins on GIT, you’ll need to tag the new version accordingly, then the users will get the update button.
If your plug-in is hosted in the [wordpress.org]) plugin directory, then you don’t need to do anything. This is automatically handled by wordpress.org.
