+1 for this request.
Discover's current behaviour is restrictive when it comes to managing system
updates on an ad-hoc basis.

A concrete example: the Plasma 6.8.2 update is available today (November 1st,
2026) in the Fedora repository. If I deselect it and then refresh Discover,
that choice is not remembered; the update icon reappears in the notification
area, even after a reboot. Consequently, there is no way for a user to say "I
am aware of it and I'll handle it later" without being constantly prompted.

A "postpone" feature ( or at the very least, ensuring that a deselected item
remains deselected) would resolve this issue. It would also spare users from
having to alter their update settings in the scheduling KCM just to work around
the situation. That would provide a safeguard against faulty system updates for
those who prefer to verify them before installation.

Another issue concerns dependency conflicts detected by dnf. Example: an update
for libheif is offered (involving 5 packages), but libheif-freeworld (from RPM
Fusion) is not yet compatible. Dnf provides a detailed message explaining that
the update cannot be installed. Discover, however, simply lists the update as
available. A user who accepts the update without verifying it via the terminal
risks encountering a failure or, in the case of more critical packages, even a
broken system.

In my case: I intend to install Fedora 45, expected in a few days (starting
November 3rd), alongside Plasma 6.8.2/6.8.3, and I would like to defer my
system updates via Discover for one week (while still allowing Flatpak updates
to be installed as usual). This would help ensure greater system stability

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Operating System: Fedora Linux 44
