Update an Application Assignment of an Entity

To assign a different application package version to an entity that already has an existing assignment, you can update the assignment. You can use the Update functionality in App Volumes Manager admin UI instead of unassigning an application from an entity and performing the assignment operation all over again.

You can also update the assignment attached to a specific computer by using the Limit delivery for these assignments check box. For a better understanding about this setting, see Application Assignment to Specific Computers.
