    - Every extension offers a "Status" column.

    Up to date: The latest version is installed according to the extensions "channel" setting (Stable, Beta, Alpha).

    Update botton: Updates only that single extension.

    Warning: The extension is not available at the original source provider (Curse) anymore.

    Ignored: The extension was locally edited/changed from its original downloadable version and thus is removed from the update cycle to keep the changes intact.

    It's mostly a carbon copy of the Curse addon installer and you should feel free to get some inspiration from it.
    That sounds like a good concept

    WowUp also includes both a global and per extension setting for channels (Live, Beta, Alpha), independent of the main program channel (WoW). And it offers extensions from multiple sources (CurseForge, Tukui, Github), all in one package.

    It's UI seems to internally be Electron (HTML/Javascript) based like so many modern cross-platform apps. That's a good approach to somethink like an updater app and likely much easier to implement than using Unity.
