• Live version status — fetches latest versions from NuGet v3 API
• Vulnerability & deprecation tracking — surfaces CVE advisories and deprecated status per package
• Update packages — bump to latest compatible or latest stable version
• Version picker — choose any specific version with target-framework and vulnerability indicators
• Dependency tree — view declared and full transitive dependency trees
• Add packages — search NuGet and add new package references
• Bulk sync — apply a compatible version across all projects at once
• Restore — run dotnet restore without leaving the TUI
