Answers.Text: Thanks very much for your answer. I realised I had actually downloaded a fork of the extension repository by mistake, so there wasn't actually a newer version!

Body: <p>I wanted to upgrade my Mosaico extension to the latest version. There was no upgrade link on the extensions screen so I downloaded the latest release and replaced the source files. However, the version number is still corresponding to the previous files. Do I need to do anything else to notify Civi that the files have been updated? I know in Drupal you would normally run the database update, but I don't know if there is something similar in CiviCRM? I couldn't find any documentation on a manual upgrade process. </p>
  
  <p>I am running CiviCRM version 4.7.28. </p>
