Can somebody clarifies how qubes-update-check service works and how dom0 gets update notifications for TemplateVMs that are never powered on?

Ah, I can see why it would be desirable to update templates that are actively used but only for offline qubes. In fact, I have some of these myself and do keep them updated, as I’ve been in the habit of updating all of my templates as a big batch since the olden days. I can understand why newer users might not have this habit if they’re just responding to update notifications, so I suppose it is worth stating this explicitly in the documentation. Added:
