Research direction
Open the help page reached from the automatic-upgrades setting and compare it with the configuration reference at docs.syncthing.net/v1.23.6/users/config#config-option-options.autoupgradeintervalh. Update the relevant documentation so it explains both disabling and re-enabling automatic upgrades via Auto upgrade interval (hours), then verify the help link presents that procedure.

Description
What happened
I saw this:
So I clicked the help button in order to see why how to re-enable automatic upgrades. The resulting webpage did not disclose that information. Surely it should do.
(It took me a while to locate - or, given that I had disabled the setting myself, some time ago - re-locate the information. In order to help others, let me note the procedure here. Syncthing GUI -> Actions -> Advanced Configuration ->Auto upgrade interval (hours) -> set to something other than zero. And there does turn out to be a relevant help page.)
What I expected to happen
I expected to see a help page that discloses how to enable and disable automatic updates.
