CPM Overview - How do I update my CPM applications?

To update an extension in Business Central, follow these steps using the Admin Center.

    • If you are currently logged into Business Central, you will see that your website address looks something like this:
      • https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/test12345/Demo?company=Test
    • Access the Admin Center by replacing the text after your Tenant ID (in the above example, it is "test12345" with "admin" - so then your website address will resemble:
      • https://businesscentral.dynamics.com/[tenant_id]/admin
    • Choose the environment where you want to update the extension

    Note: We recommend installing new updates in a sandbox environment for testing before updating your production environment. 

    • Select the Apps button to view all installed extensions
    • Find the extension requiring an update
    • Select Install update or Update app to update the extension
      • You can refresh the Manage apps screen to check on the update status
      • The message will show Update is Scheduled or Updating... until the process is complete

      Caution:

      • Test in Sandbox first:
        • Always update extensions in a Sandbox environment before rolling them out to Production.
      • Review Release Notes:
        • Release notes should be fully reviewed as part of your testing process, as they may include information on new setup and configuration requirements. Release notes can be accessed here.
      • Communicate with affected users:
        • Notify your team of any potential changes or downtime during the update process.  Users should be logged out of Business Central prior to installation of the release; if this is not possible, please advise your users that it may be necessary to refresh or log out/log in to Business Central in order to continue working with the application.
