This procedure describes how to upgrade an application template.
Prerequisites:
When a station is running an application template and the
Workbench user home applicationTemplates directory contains a newer version of the same template (as indicated by a higher version
number assigned when it was last saved), the sub-menu will include the Upgrade Application Template menu option.
Perform the following steps:
- In the Nav Tree, click .
This launches the
Upgrade Application Template wizard, a simplified version of the application template install wizard, that includes an optional station backup step, and
confirmation step.

- Click Next, and click Finish to complete the upgrade installation.

CAUTION: The application template configuration will be preserved by the upgrade, but ad hoc edits made outside of the template configuration
may be lost during the upgrade.
An upgrade progress report detailing the results of the upgrade displays in the window.
NOTE: Alternatively, upgrading application templates can also be accomplished through provisioning. For more details, see the latest
version of the Niagara Provisioning Guide.
NOTE: If you accidently deleted a component of a template, upgrading the template to a new version will restore the deleted component
unless that component is marked as optional for the new template version.
