If you have a procedure that has multiple overloads (so, for example, same procedure name but different parameters), then if you want to add a new statement somewhere else in your code calling one of these procedures utilizing the IntelliSense will always only show a single procedure and not all the overloads.

I would suggest to show all overloads for the procedure when you use the IntelliSense, or at least show some indication that there are multiple overloads available.
For example, when you use the IntelliSense when you create a new statement with a function call in C# you will see an indicator that says "1 of 2" if there are multiple methods that you can choose from with the same name.
It would be very useful if we can see the signatures of the possible overloads we can choose from.

This is already mostly supported, but with a different command (Ctrl+Shift+Space) for triggering parameter hints.

We are still lacking showing that overloads exist ("+x overload(s)") in signature help. We will track that in this

Your help is greatly appreciated,

When typing method call first time and adding opening parenthesis "(", the closing parenthesis ")" will autocomplete and IntelliSense will show the different signatures, if available. This should help on first time authoring. However, currently it is not possible to reinvoke the signature list using, e.g., Ctrl+Space once call is written. Keeping this idea to track that part.

This is linked to the documentation issue. Currently there is no way to actually understand how any particular method in a page, table or code unit was intended to be used. I see that is on the roadmap and will be a critical integration point for making extensions work without people having to dig through source code.
