Set up notifications about plant upgrades

Concept

Tenant-administrators can provide their Tenant-users with information on upgrades to their plants by loading PDF documents as cloud files to the system. The user can query the documents as "Release notes". The releases are highlighted in color based on the content:

The PDF files are displayed in menu "Operation > Plants" in column ' (Upgrade available)'. The files can be downloaded or confirmed in the plant under "Upgrade". See section "View and confirm release notes in the plant".
