<div dir="ltr">Andrew, i wanted to add this:<div><br></div>if the previously installed custom-module is now successful published on the store, then it could be updated through the store. Store offers a unique name for each app. So, if you have an extension by the name 'TeamDiary' already installed, and now there is an extension with the same name in the store, then the store would allow you to update it. <br>
