 **`customCss`** | `string` | _Optional_ | Raw CSS that will be applied to the page. This can also be set from the UI. Please minify it first.
 **`hideComponents`** | `object` | _Optional_ | A list of key page components (header, footer, search, settings, etc) that are present by default, but can be removed using this option. See [`appConfig.hideComponents`](#appconfighideComponents-optional)
 **`allowConfigEdit`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Should prevent / allow the user to write configuration changes to the conf.yml from the UI. When set to `false`, the user can only apply changes locally using the config editor within the app, whereas if set to `true` then changes can be written to disk directly through the UI. Defaults to `true`. Note that if authentication is enabled, the user must be of type `admin` in order to apply changes globally.
+**`disableUpdateChecks`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to true, Dashy will not check for updates. Defaults to `false`.
 **`disableServiceWorker`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | Service workers cache web applications to improve load times and offer basic offline functionality, and are enabled by default in Dashy. The service worker can sometimes cause older content to be cached, requiring the app to be hard-refreshed. If you do not want SW functionality, or are having issues with caching, set this property to `true` to disable all service workers.
 **`disableContextMenu`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | If set to `true`, the custom right-click context menu will be disabled. Defaults to `false`.
