How do I find out which version of Electrum I have?

Hi guys, I hope this is the right subdread.

I downloaded Tails 4.5, and I'd like to know which version of Electrum comes with it. I assume it's the latest (3.3.8, I believe?), but I just want to be 100% sure because, as I'm sure you know, versions from last year are not secure.

As an aside, how would I have found this out in Tails without asking? As it comes pre-installed I don't think I can find the file to check.

Cheers, hope you're all staying safe and healthy.

Electrum is fine again in Tails for a few releases already. If the software for which you want to find out the version does not provide you something where to check it you could look at Tails changelogs to see which changes were introduced in which version: https://git.tails.boum.org/tails/plain/debian/changelog For Electrum for example you can see that it was last updated in 4.0~rc1 to version 3.3.8-0.1 so this should be the one still used now.
