Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/69.0.3497.100 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Visit https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings 2. Look for instructions to testing warnings upon extension upgrade What is the expected behavior? The instructions are available. What went wrong? The instructions are missing. Did this work before? Yes Does this work in other browsers? N/A Chrome version: 69.0.3497.100 Channel: n/a OS Version: Flash Version: You can view the last version of these instructions here: https://web.archive.org/web/20180114080742/https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings#test Being able to easily test what happens on extension upgrade is important because a new warning auto-disables your extension meaning you will lose a large portion of your users, and as your own documentation points out (https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings#permissions_with_warnings), the documentation isn't guaranteed to be complete or accurate (and it's not clear it covers the upgrade case at all): >Permission tables are updated on a best-effort basis and may contain slight discrepancies with the current warnings.

Tried testing the issue on reported chrome version #69.0.3497.100 using Ubuntu 17.10 by following below steps. Steps: ===== 1.Launched chrome. 2.Navigated to "https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings". 3.Observed at the end of the page there are update permissions. Note: Same behavior is seen in M-60(60.0.3112.78) also. Attached screencast for reference. @reporter: Could you please provide the screenshot of the issue and also request you to confirm if this is the issue you are pointing to. Thanks.!

Yes, there is an "Update Permissions" section. But this section gives you no information for how to test permissions warnings on extension update. This documentation used to exist on the page (see https://web.archive.org/web/20180114080742/https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings#test) but no longer does.

As per confirmation from comment#5, able to reproduce the issue on the reported chrome version #69.0.3497.100, latest stable #70.0.3538.110 and latest chrome #72.0.3626.0 using Ubuntu 17.10, Windows 10 and Mac 10.14.1. The behavior is seen from old M-60builds(60.0.3112.78). This is non-regression issue hence marking it as untriaged and requesting someone from the dev team to look into the issue. Thanks.!
