You can update a package while in the In Project, Unity Registry, or My Registries context:

1. Open the Package Manager window and select In Project from the PackagesPackages are collections of assets to be shared and re-used in Unity. The Unity Package Manager (UPM) can display, add, and remove packages from your project. These packages are native to the Unity Package Manager and provide a fundamental method of delivering Unity functionality. However, the Unity Package Manager can also display Asset Store packages that you downloaded from the Asset Store. More info
   See in Glossary drop-down menu.
