To make an AppImage updateable, you need to embed information that describes where to check for updates and how into the AppImage. Unlike other Linux distribution methods, the information where to look for updates is not contained in separate repository description files such as :code:`sources.list` that need to be managed by the user, but is directly embedded inside the AppImage by the author of the respective AppImage. This has the advantage that the update information always travels alongside the application, so that the end user does not have to do anything special in order to be able to check for updates.
