XP level: newbie and above
The command in terminal goes like this to ADD the repository to Ubuntu. It will keep you up on the latest releases respectively. This should be a good idea for any user to keep up on the latest releases in the future.

throw this command into terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

enjoy!

Snaps don't automatically update, but there's nothing from stopping you from adding a start up script or just update them manually with sudo snap refresh

Why not use snap to install the latest version. sudo snap install libreoffice

Sure. that's one way. I'm a little old school by today's standards. But do snaps automatically update libre office in this case? I personally do not know. But now you put this out there, you just gave people an extra option to consider.

True. I like things easy as most do, but snaps makes it easier and I end up using command line generally speaking.. go figure!

I've set a cron job to do just that, checks on boot and then every six hours.

Snaps don't update automatically. You'll have to update them by yourself.

That's what we said nearly 7 months ago.
