DIM - how to see if updated products are installed or not? UPDATED

When downloading product updates with DIM I assume it overwrites the existing installer zips with the new versions.  But is there a way to see whether a product there is an update for is already installed, or just downloaded, so you can update/install those already installed and skip (keep on the Ready to Install tab) those that are not?

    Well, just got the idea to type the name of an update just downloaded but not installed into the search field, and it now shows on both the "Ready to Install" tab and the "Installed" tab, so I assume it (the previous version) is already installed.  The tooltip data however are the same for both (data for the update), but maybe that's per design.

    BTW, recently I've seen product updates appear under "Products" rather than "Product Updates".  I also see one today (17312 Toon Private Plane PS), which I purchased 4 years ago.  I don't seem to have that particular Poser file however despite I've already downloaded everything I've purchased long ago.  I wonder if it's a new (package date is 2021-05-10) Poser version for that product, never released before, i.e. a completely new file, which may explain why it's not under "Product Updates"?  AFAIR 3DJoji is updating his products so maybe some of those updates found under "Products" are from him and include completely new files (don't recall which those updates I've seen there previously were, just thought the were misplaced there accidently)?
