Hello,
The issue is not new. I cannot find the way to see in IDE the list of installed libraries and the list of the libraries require updates. Same for the boards, so, you cannot say if your environment contains everything you need and it is up to date or outdated. This issue makes new IDE unusable for the production.
Thanks.

Hi @cranez . Thanks for giving the beta stage Arduino IDE 2.x a try!
The lack of updatable status filtering in Library and Boards manager is being tracked here:

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Nope, doesn'… t seem like an existing open problem
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like to see something similar to the status dropdown in the old IDE to select board/libraries with available updates.
I tried typing `installed`, `type:installed`, and `status:installed` in the search field and it didn't show me only my installed libraries instead of all the libraries available. Nor did `updatable` and `upgradable` show me those which had available updates. Finally, I didn't find a way to force a check for updates or to see when updates were last checked.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
As mentioned above, tried a few obvious guesses in the search bar to filter on some criteria. Also tried right-clicking on the library and board manager icons but those also didn't trigger any filtering options.
I did RTFM but didn't see information about filtering and updates on

**Additional context**
Looks like someone else wants this feature too (https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=730437.0) but I didn't see it when I looked through the issues here, so I figured I'd open an issue.
Hopefully this feature will be added soon.
