• Quick Fix: Receive code actions (quick fixes) for each outdated dependency, allowing you to update them with a single click to the latest version.
• Update all dependencies: Update all outdated dependencies at once using the command Update all dependencies.
• Version Comparison: Compare the current version in the pubspec.yaml file with the latest version available on pub.dev to determine if an update is needed.
