The same way you can right click a module, and there are options to close all modules, or modules to the right, or close other modules, there should be options to publish in the same way (all, to the right, other). How would this be useful?

Whenever I have to update references after having changed something, for example, setting the Expose Read-Only attribute in an entity, to True, I need to open every module and re-publish it.

Now, there's an option to publish all consumer modules in service center, but I will still need to update broken references manually, so I may need to open several modules anyway. And these few options would help, as opening several modules, changing from one module to the other, and publishing them, in big environments, can be quite slow.

So the flow could be:

Open referenced modules -> 'Refresh all open consumers' option in producer module -> Right click producer tab -> Select 'Publish all other modules'
