Updating users to new Extension Gallery?

I have an extension in the current Safari Extensions Gallery, and am managing updates from my own server. I plan to submit my extension to the new Safari Extensions Gallery.


Will I be able to automatically upgrade users to the extension in the new gallery? If so, is there documentation for this upgrade?

Got a link to this page from Support. It looks like a pretty straightforward change. https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/Tools/Conceptual/SafariExtensionGuide/DistributingYourExtension/DistributingYourExtension.html

Extensions in the Safari Extensions Gallery are hosted and signed by Apple, which means users can trust that the Safari Extension they are installing is the one you submitted. Only Safari Extensions installed from the Safari Extensions Gallery can be updated automatically. To support automatic updating to the version available from the Safari Extensions Gallery, add the following line to your Update Manifest.
