How do I scan project dependencies for security vulnerabilities and outdated packages?▼

To scan project dependencies for security vulnerabilities and outdated packages, run an automated audit against your manifest file. This process identifies known security issues and flags packages behind their current versions.

How can I check my project's dependencies for license conflicts?▼

You can check dependencies for license conflicts by running a compliance audit. This highlights licensing issues within your project dependencies to maintain legal project integrity and ensure compliance.

What is the best way to automate dependency updates before a new release?▼

Does dependency auditing work with modern package managers?▼

Yes, dependency auditing works with modern package managers. The analysis process supports current package management ecosystems to verify supply chain safety and ensure your codebase remains maintainable.

Why does my dependency audit report show license conflicts?▼

Your dependency audit report shows license conflicts because the scan detected incompatible licensing terms within your project dependencies. Resolving these conflicts ensures your project maintains legal compliance.

When do I need to perform a dependency audit for supply chain safety?▼
