Build an interface to update all Redgate Tools at once.
I wanted to put this one level up (all Redgate), but did not see a way to do that.
When you guys release an update, I do not see any choice but to open each tool, one at a time, and check to see if it was updated. There should be one interface that I can open that will check every product I have installed and install the appropriate updates. The current is much more time consuming than it should be and extremely inconvenient. If you have such a tool now, it should be easier to find.
I thought Redgate use to do this, but if it did, i don't see it anymore. Please consider this for a near future update.

I've put this as an idea under one of the other products as well but supporting this one simply because it would be useful.
Also I definitely second Bob Vale's comment, that would be incredibly useful as well.

Additionally, provide an option in the tools to reinstall the SSMS plugins. I recently installed SSMS 2017 post toolbelt installation and the plugins were not available. Some tools had an update pending and installing that update fixed the plugin for that tool, other tools didn't and the only way to get the tool into SSMS was to uninstall and reinstall the specific tool.
