The power of regression testing has your back also with auto-roll back technology if things go pear-shaped.

- View All Updates in One UI: See all outdated plugins and themes in a single, easy-to-navigate interface.
- Selective Exclusion: Choose specific plugins or themes to exclude from updates.
- Update All: Conveniently update all plugins and themes with a single action.
