+To upgrade all dependencies in `poetry.lock` to their latest semantic version compatible releases:

 $ poetry update

+(Applications only) To upgrade all dependencies, other than those pinned to exact versions, in
+both `pyproject.toml` and `poetry.lock` to their latest versions (regardless of semantic version)
+using [`poetryup`](https://github.com/MousaZeidBaker/poetryup):

+```bash
+(fact) $ nox -s update_latest
+```
+
+This is useful for _applications_ as an alternative to using wildcard versions (`"*"`) for allowing
+the developer to avoid manually checking for new major release versions for all top level
+dependencies. Putting tight version constraints in `pyproject.toml` can greatly reduce the time 
+for Poetry to resolve lockfile changes during updates. _Libraries_ should generally avoid pinning
+to the latest versions in `project.toml` to allow users of their library the greatest flexibility
+in selecting the final dependencies for their applications.
+
+To upgrade only dev dependencies to their latest versions (which is a more appropriate operation
+for libraries):
+
+```bash
+(fact) $ nox -s update_latest -- --group dev
