1 Edit applications
From the Application Management interface users can modify the settings of applications and their deployments.
Applications can be retired directly from the overview, which hides them from all interfaces in SoftwareCentral.
| You want to | Use |
|---|---|
| Change the name, icon, deployment types, distribution, security, supersedence or deployment settings | Edit |
| Hand the installations over to a new version | Replace Application, see Replace Package / Application |
| Take an application out of use but keep it | Retire (and Reinstate to bring it back) |
| Stop all deployments quickly | Disable Deployments (and Enable Deployment) |
| Make the application available to Intune devices | Migrate To Intune |
| Remove it for good | Delete, optionally with its source files |
Which of these buttons you see depends on your security role.
2 Best practice
- Make your changes in Application Management rather than in the ConfigMgr console, so SoftwareCentral’s collections, shop data and security groups stay in step.
- Before changing Deployment Settings, remember they apply to every deployment of the application, including ones created by hand in ConfigMgr.
- Use Disable Deployments first if something goes wrong with a large deployment, then investigate.
