How should I use APM?

APM page offeres the following links:
- Create a new package
- Write new specification files for all installed, locally generated packages
- Load a new package from a URL or local directory.
- Install packages

Clicking on a package I am only offered the sections:
- package information
- manage
- reload
- xml .info package specification file
- disable/unistall

I cannot see any upgrade link. So how do you upgrade packages from APM? Via "Reload this package" or "Install packages." link?

Greetings,
Nima

Install Packages, it figures out automatically if an upgrade is needed or a new install.

Thank you. Why do we have several ways to install/upgrade packages in OpenACS? Wouldn't it make sense to have one working solution? I know this is not the right thread to ask but the UI of APM seems confusing to me. Maybe we can tune that up a little.
