Repromoting Assets

Edit online
Pre-requisites:

You must have the Manage promotions functional privilege assigned to perform this task.

If you have made recent changes to an asset's information, you can repromote the updated asset to the already promoted target stages.

If you have to update an asset, for example, you want to correct an attribute setting, modify the asset's description, that has already been promoted to a target stage, you can simply make the change directly to the asset in the source target and then repromote the updated asset to the target stage just as you did with the previous version of the asset. In a multi-stage environment, you have to repromote the updated assets in each of the participating webMethods API Gateway instances.
