New NuGet Window in Rider
In a Nutshell
Rider 2026.2 introduces a redesigned NuGet tool window (Alt+7) that separates browsing new packages, managing installed packages, and applying updates into distinct tabs and views. Users can filter by solution/project/feed, view package sources and logs, and install or update packages directly from the unified interface.

Rider's NuGet tool window has been redesigned to make dependency management clear in your projects. A solution configured with Microsoft Aspire is used as the example for demonstrating the new interface.
The NuGet tool window can be opened using Alt-7. From this window, users can see a list of all installed packages that are in the solution, including any implicitly installed packages. Filtering is available for installed packages by solution or project, such as filtering to a specific Blazor web project. Additional filtering by feeds is supported, including private feeds.
The Sources tab displays individual feeds and where they are referenced. Users can look into folders to see particular variables that might exist for retrieving packages. Logs are available to see things in higher detail.
To update a particular package, select it and click Update. The update applies across the particular projects that are selected.
The Discover tab shows a list of all the top installed packages that exist. To install a package for a particular project, select it from the picker, choose the package to install, specify the version, and click Add. The installation can be validated by going to the Install tab.
This new NuGet tool window user interface is available in JetBrains Rider version 26.2.
