You can in the meantime right click on the game, poperties, local filies, verify and it will trigger an update after verifying if there is one.
Standard way is close client and restart. AS there is no button to check for updates.
Verify files verifies the Current version as its still live. No update triggers until you manually restart and trigger a update check.
Verify will trigger an update if there is one as the version and files will not match what is on your PC and what is on the server. I have used this several times when an update is live but not triggered upon restart.
I don't need to know ways to do it without a restart (that take longer than a restart.) I am suggesting a Button to trigger a check. (I have had online games launch without the update and fail to log-in because steam did not find the update. eg. GTA V thats 90 GB to check and verify...)
If you cannot wait for an update is restarting Steam numerous times any quicker than a verify.
Games are not structured the same way so two 20gb sized games will not take the same time to verify.
Whether you need to know is irrelevant as to the reality that a verify can trigger an update as confirmed by yourself.
I am not against the suggestion but I am not here to affirm it either as Valve time is endless and a suggestion is simply "please consider this".
