Updates for offload apps

If i offload my apps will i still get updates for it?? I mean i go to the app store and select update all every few days. I dont want to update the unnecessary apps that i dont use regularly that is main reason why i use offloading apps not for storage saving so i wanted to know that. Can anyone tell me?

Windows, Windows 6

no, when you unoffload it you will get the latest version of the app, when you offload an app it removes the assemblies and leaving only the configuration/saves

and updates is updates to the assemblies, so in order to update an offloaded app it would need to unupload it and then offload it after, which would be madness
