Yes, the GUI should do this. You might need to click a button or select
a menu option first however to trigger it. Synaptic Package Manager, for
example, has a big Reload button that looks like it should do the update
operation.

There are multiple GUIs out there, you haven't said which one you are
using.

You will find many people use the command line, so that will the only
one they are familiar with.
