Auto-Update Management

Purpose

Use Auto-Update Management to configure how PackMyApp detects, pauses, and rolls out newer versions after deployment.

What You Can Control

• Enable or disable auto-updates per deployment.
• Pick a schedule: daily, weekly, or every X hours.
• Reuse the same Entra group when a new version is available.
• Choose immediate rollout or staged rollout.
• Send update-detected emails and pre-deploy reminders.
• Pause auto-updates immediately or until a future UTC timestamp.
• Review saved preferences and recent auto-update execution history for the current deployment context.

Step 6 In The Deploy Wizard

1. Open the Deploy Wizard.
2. Go to step 6, Auto-Update Options.

3. Keep the top cards for the settings you use most.
4. Open advanced options only when you need pause/resume controls.
5. Save only after confirming customer, tenant, and target group context.

Staged Rollout Rules

• Staged rollout uses phase percentages such as 10%, 50%, and 100%.
• The final phase must be 100%.
• The UI previews the staged order before deployment.
• PackMyApp rejects incomplete phased lists such as 10%, 50% without a final 100% stage.

Pause Behavior

• Pause auto-updates blocks scheduled execution.
• If Paused until is set, the worker resumes automatically after that time.
• If no resume time is set, updates stay paused until manually resumed.

Preference And History Review

• Use the saved auto-update preference view to confirm that schedule, rollout strategy, pause state, and notification flags match the deployment you intended.
• Use update history when you need to confirm which version was targeted, whether rollout succeeded, and whether a staged phase or target group was involved.
• If your tier cannot manage auto-updates, PackMyApp still shows the state but management actions stay capability-gated.
