Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be useful to have the ability to update Software installed via the Dashboard/Chocolatey from within the dashboard with a simple button. I envision it working similar to the Patch approval system where you would approve software updates and then install the approved updates. or alternatively just a simple update all button

Describe alternatives you've considered
I am aware of the community script that allows you to mass install and update software but it would be useful for smaller deployments as well as on a per agent administration to have this functionality directly in the dashboard

You could make it a favorited script its a quick click. (Right click -> Run Fav Script) You want it quicker?
Or you could make it a task you manually run.

those are all valid points but that still does not change the fact that it could be useful to have a GUI element to all the same functionality seeing as how that functionality exists for installing the programs it seems only logical that you would also be able to update them in a similar fashion

I second this!
As I see other RMM vendors implementing 'third party software' patching I find it very useful to update software through the RMM.
The 'Software' section for a device could show an 'update available' column and you can select the software you want to do a 'choco upgrade package' for.
In time it would be great to have a more in depth approach of accepting/declining certain updates for each client as some updates might break things in production.
