macOS Sierra Security Updates overview

With Apple Sierra, Siri makes its debut on Mac, with new features designed just for the desktop. Your Mac works with iCloud and your Apple devices in smart new ways, and intelligent capabilities make your photos, music, and messaging even more enjoyable.

Features
  • Get things done by asking Siri, the intelligent assistant now on your Mac.
    • Enjoy your favorite features from iOS as well as new ones optimized for Mac.
    • Send messages, create reminders, search the web, and more while you work.
    • Drag and drop or copy and paste Siri results into your documents.
    • Pin Siri results in Notification Center and reference them later.
    • Find files, adjust settings, and get system information just by asking Siri.
  • Copy and paste between your devices with Universal Clipboard.
    • Copy a quote, image, or video from an app on one device and paste it into an app on another device.
  • Automatically log in with Auto Unlock.
    • Log in to your Mac automatically when you wear your Apple Watch - no need to type your password.
  • Enjoy the convenience and security of Apple Pay when you shop on the web.
    • Use Apple Pay to make easy, secure payments when shopping in Safari on your Mac.
    • Complete your purchase with Touch ID on your iPhone or with your Apple Watch.
  • Access files on your Mac desktop from your iPhone with iCloud Desktop and Documents.

Untangling Confusion:

The original "Security Update 2019-004 (Sierra)" contained a bug that affected Sleep mode on a few recent Mac models. Without explanation, Apple pulled the update for several days. Then, without explanation, Apple made the update available again with modifications that removed the Sleep bug.

If you have questions about whether you have the correct version installed, simply download and install this latest version. For details, please read:
"Apple has released High Sierra and Sierra Security Updates 2019-004 again"

when I try to d/l the 5GB file on top of the webpage it redirects to Appstore, so far so good, but then it says install.... I just want to download to have the dmg file ready for when I change in short notice my HD. Can I d/L it somewhere without installing or can I choose (download/install) at a given moment when I download via the Appstore? thanks in advance
