As I see that you always refer this method as
Live Update please read here
https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Updating_J ... Method)/en. Not only is this the recommended method, it is the easiest method of updating the Joomla CMS. Sometimes this method is referred to as a
One click update.
The documentation is outdated. Please refer to the
image I posted earlier in this topic:
Now show me where, in Joomla! there is mention of "one-click update".
The image clearly shows two tabs: one is labelled
Live Update and the other is labelled
Upload & Update.
The terminology referring to some "one-click update" (or upgrade) was used around the time of the beginning of J! 3 to assist people to upgrade (or migrate) from J! 2.5 to J! 3. The
documentation that you have referenced does not show the two tabs. These features were added after that documentation was written.

So this method referred to as
One click update and not
Live Update.
This argument about what the normal or "one-click update" (or default) method should be referred to is pointless. There are two methods (regardless of what the documentation states) and they are:
Live Update and
Upload & Update. If people want to call the
Live Update method the "one-click update" method, that's fine with me as long as they don't harp on about it on the forum and say these things are inherently different. They're not different.
I wouldn't say that I've always referred to the (so-called, erstwhile) "one-click update" as the
Live Update. It' splitting hairs to suggest that I have. What I will say, however, is that there are two methods:
Live Update and
Upload & Update.
At the end of the day, the documentation is not the final determinant. The documentation is outdated and it doesn't mirror what people see on their websites. There are many places where the "documentation" is outdated, ambiguous, confusing or just dead wrong. If you look at the documentation website (and you don't have your wits about you) you will find that it say that
one method to update Joomla is to use the
Extension Manager (!)
So, just because the "documentation" says that the "easiest method of updating the Joomla CMS ... is referred to as a
One click update", that same "documentation" is
wrong when it states
if you are unable to use this method ... you can update the Joomla CMS using the
install method (i.e. use the
Extension Manager).
The document may have been "OK" at the time of J! 3 (when people were transitioning between J! 2.5 to J! 3) and up to J! 3.4 but, from J! 3.5 this document became obsolete.
