Joomla 3 Not Showing “Update Joomla”

We had a customer with an old Joomla 2.5 site that we got upgraded to Joomla 3; however, we wanted to go to Joomla 4 and couldn’t find the “Joomla Update” menu item under the Components menu. We were able to find it here.

• Go to Extensions -> Manage -> Update
• Hit the Options button in the upper right
• On the left side menu you find “Joomla! Update“, and here you can set the “Update Channel“
