Thanks @nooreldeenmansour . I was planning to do this as a part of UDENG-9498, but will review this PR instead.

@edibotopic I wasn’t aware of that ticket. I’ll make sure to coordinate and check for any related documentation work beforehand going forward.

@nooreldeenmansour @adombeck --- I'm wondering should we also look at this page: https://canonical-ubuntu-documentation-library--1373.com.readthedocs.build/authd/1373/howto/changing-versions/ .

Specifically the section: Switch authd to the edge PPA.

This section made more sense when the default install was the stable PPA. But now it is only mentioned as the install option for 24.04. The instructions wouldn't be appropriate for someone switching back and forth between the 26.04 package and the edge PPA.

We could reword/rewrite it slightly to be more general, covering switching between stable and edge for PPA users on 24.04 (if we need to include that) but also using the edge PPA instead of the archive package (for those who are interested). We would eventually keep the focus on the archive package in install.md, for example, but be able to point to this changing-versions.md where necessary.

Related to #1341

To me the instructions seem appropriate for that. I don't see the stable PPA mentioned anywhere. The

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-enterprise-desktop/authd-edge

and

sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-enterprise-desktop/authd-edge

commands add / purge the edge PPA, so it should allow switching between whatever other version was installed before and the version from the edge PPA.

OK @adombeck --- that's clear.
