Is there a way (using conda update) that I can list outdated packages and select or bulk update (compatible) packages in Anaconda?

It doesn't make much sense updating the packages individually as there are hundreds of them.

You want conda update --all.

conda search --outdated will show outdated packages, and conda update --all will update them (note that the latter will not update you from Python 2 to Python 3, but the former will show Python as being outdated if you do use Python 2).
