## Description

Updatepilot Update Log keeps log of every pending WordPress core, plugin, and theme
update in a Google Sheet.

 * Click “Sync to Sheet” any time — nothing runs automatically or on a schedule.
 * Reads live “update available” data (same source as update-core.php).
 * Rows are written to a tab named for the current month (e.g. Jun26, Aug26); a 
   new tab is created automatically the first time you sync in a new month.
 * If an item already has a row this month and a newer version later becomes available,
   that row is updated in place instead of duplicated.
 * Items whose available version hasn’t changed are left untouched, so any “Updated”
   checkbox you’ve already ticked stays as you left it.
 * The default blank “Sheet1” tab Google creates for new spreadsheets is automatically
   removed once a real month tab exists.
 * Connects to your Sheet via a small Apps Script you deploy yourself — no Google
   Cloud project, API keys, or OAuth setup required.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/updatepilot-update-log/`, or install
    via the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to **Updatepilot Update Log** in the admin menu.
 4. Follow the “One-time Google Sheet setup” steps on that page: open your Sheet, paste
    the provided script into Extensions > Apps Script, deploy it as a Web App, and 
    copy the resulting URL.
 5. Paste the Web App URL and your chosen secret into Settings, Save.
 6. Click **Sync to Sheet**.

## FAQ

### Can I use the Google Sheet link directly?

Writing to a sheet always needs some form of authorization — Google doesn’t allow
it from a bare link. Rather than requiring a Google Cloud project or OAuth setup,
this plugin has you deploy a small Apps Script bound to your own sheet instead. 
It’s a one-time, few-minutes setup entirely inside Google Sheets, with no external
accounts or API keys.

### Will syncing overwrite my manually-ticked checkboxes?

No. A row is only touched if its available update version has actually changed since
the last sync. If nothing changed, that row (and its checkbox) is left exactly as
you left it.

### Does this run automatically?

No. Sync only happens when you click “Sync to Sheet” in the admin page.
