IDF version for Arduino IDE 2.3.2

[Gilbert]

My Arduino IDE (v 2.3.2) is still using ESP IDF version 4.4.6. The latest version of IDF is 5.2.
Questions:
1. Is it possible to upgrade IDF to the lastest (or at least a more more recent) version w/o breaking the Arduino IDE?
2. Is there a significant advantage in doing this?
3. Is there a dependency on ESP32 chip versions?
4. If the answer to the above is 'yes' pls provide instructions to upgrade

Kind regards,
Gilbert

The version of arduino-esp32 is independent of the Arduino IDE version.
To use IDF 5.1.2, you can install the development version
5.2 is not yet supported.
