at 1:15 and 2:45, you mention "link below" for R and RStudio. I don't see link below (but obviously could still get there).

When updating packages, several keep showing up as having newer versions available. gtsummary, insight, prismatic, rvest, and usethis. I've hit Select All and Install Updates several times. But when I click on Update Packages again, the same 5 show up.

Just wanted to give you the heads up that the 7 of us from my department will not be able to update RStudio. Seems like IT is preventing that for us (and our current version is quite old, 1.1.463). I will try to still get the git setup going but just wanted to give the heads up, as we may not be able to submit assignments in the 'connected to GitHub' way (unfortunately).

Often when I update packages, not everything updates, so if I click on update packages again, I still see some listed. Sometimes I can manually remove them and manually re-install them, but that doesn't always work. For example, after I updated R and RStudio, and then ran update packages, I am still seeing commonmark has an installed version of 1.8.0 and an available version of 1.8.1, but nothing I can seem to do updates to the newer version.

Can I just use the top menu and click help-> Check for Updates to update R Studio?
