A quick question regarding Debian: A Debian version receives 3 years of support, I know that much. But then there is also LTS which extends support for another 2 years, making it 5 overall.

Do I have to be proactive in any way to get those LTS updates? Or will they be automatically enabled without any notice?

What I found online left me a bit confused, so I'm thankful for anyone able to help.
