Deploy updates

The Updates page turns a saved Blueprint draft or candidate revision into a controlled rollout.

Before you start

• Confirm the Blueprint contains only the intended changes.
• Make sure at least one representative test computer is online.
• Check Forge when your organization uses it, so required build artifacts are ready.
• Avoid starting a large rollout immediately before an unstaffed period.

Start an update

1. Open Updates and select the prepared Blueprint.
2. Choose a test computer when the change should be validated first.
3. Start the update.
4. Watch progress and investigate failed targets before advancing to everyone.
5. Mark a release verified only after confirming that a test computer works correctly.

You can pause an active rollout, resume it, retry failed targets, or cancel work that should not continue. When a new release causes problems, use the previous successful rollout to go back to that revision.

Note

Computers receive commands when they check in. An offline computer remains pending until it reconnects or the rollout is cancelled.
