Kurt collins 82a6256458 Edited for style and grammar across all Quick Start docs (#1637)
**Summary**

Noticed a lot of future tense, passive voice, and general formatting/wording changes to be made.

The update procedure for your CMS depends upon the method you used to install Netlify CMS.
## Package Manager
If you are using a package manager like Yarn or NPM, use their standard procedure to update. This is how both the Hugo and Gatsby starters are set up.
## CDN
If you are using the CMS through a CDN like Unpkg, then that depends on the version tag you are using. You can find the version tag in the `/admin/index.html` file of your site.
- (Recommended) If you use `^2.0.0`, the CMS does all updates except major versions automatically.
- It upgrades to `2.0.1`, `2.1.0`, `2.1.2`.
- It does not upgrade to `3.0.0` or higher.
- It does not upgrade to beta versions.
- If you use `~2.0.0`, the CMS will do only patch updates automatically.
- It upgrades `2.0.1`, `2.0.2`.
- It does not upgrade to `2.1.0` or higher.
- It does not upgrade beta versions.
