Understanding the Dependency Dashboard

The Dependency Dashboard is a crucial tool for developers to manage and monitor their project's dependencies. It provides a comprehensive overview of the dependencies used in the project, including their versions, updates, and errors. In this article, we will delve into the world of the Dependency Dashboard, exploring its features, benefits, and best practices.
