Comment (by kpdesign):

 Some suggested changes to the text for both tabs.

 For the '''Overview''' tab:

   This screen lets you update to the latest version of WordPress, as well
 as update your themes and plugins from the WordPress.org repository. When
 updates are available, the number of available updates will appear in a
 bubble on the left hand menu as a notification.[[BR]][[BR]]
   It is very important to keep your WordPress installation up to date for
 security reasons. Since 3.7, WordPress   has the ability to apply
 maintenance and security releases automatically. You'll still need to
 click "Update Now" when a new major version has been released.[[BR]][[BR]]
   Please check below to see if your site has the ability to apply the
 updates automatically.

 For the '''How to Update''' tab:

   Updating your WordPress installation is a simple one-click procedure -
 just click on the "Update Now" button when you are notified that a new
 major version is available.[[BR]][[BR]]
   Since 3.7, WordPress has the ability to apply maintenance and security
 releases automatically. Please check below to see if your site has the
 ability to apply the updates automatically.[[BR]][[BR]]
   To update themes or plugins from this screen, use the checkboxes to make
 your selection, then click on the appropriate "Update" button. Check the
 box at the top of the Themes or Plugins section to select all, and update
 them all at once.

 I know this increases the content from 2 to 3 paragraphs, but the
 additional link to be added in the right sidebar will expand the height of
 the Help screen anyway.
