Very noob question here...

If I have used create-next-app, how do I update it and other packages installed.

Is it simply a matter of npm update? and that's it ?

Or is there some preferred method for doing this ?

The reason I ask is what if the latest Next packages aren't compatibile with eachother? i.e maybe Create-Next-App uses a specific version of some package and then I go update it to the latest version which introduces breaking changes ?

Ok, but what is the standard approach everyone does? I want to understand the vanilla flow first before using extra tools

Ok great! And the fear of packages not being compatible with eachother? Is that not really a thing?
