5.17.4.4. Cloud Catalogs Update automatically

The task checks all locally copied projects from the cloud catalogs for new versions and performs the update. Afterward, check the mappings in the Update Manager [Update manager] ; see Section 5.17.4.5, “Check assignments in the Update Manager”. This applies even if all projects were updated without any problems: Only after you have confirmed the mappings will the rows be marked as “Verified.”
