In service center module details, there is this useful button "Publish All Consumers".

Will be nice to add an option to do this for direct consumers only.

This way it can be used to quickly refresh consumers after a change in public elements in low level module, without doing a big republish. One of the problems now is that LifeTime will not allow to deploy if there is even optional change in public elements, so consumers need to be refreshed manually. Another problem is "method not found" error, which requires refresh of consumer plus republish of top level module (at least). For changes in low level modules, current "publish all consumers" feature is not the best way to refresh, because it includes also indirect consumers, which can drag almost whole stack and take hours.
