Updating Assets "Installed From the DLS"
If you run your new filter and see one or more updated assets available for download that were "Installed from the DLS", then the process is very simple.
Updating "Built in and Base Assets"
The above method will not work for updates to assets that are either Built in or Base. If CM lists updates for built in or base assets as available for download then the process involves a few extra steps.
This will display all the available versions of the assets, those that are:-
- on your system,
- on the DLS, and
- obsolete
You may need to click the Status column heading once or twice to sort them into order and group all the Available for download assets together.
