How to update an add-in

When an add-in project is updated and rebuilt, a new opdashboardAddin file is created, containing the updated add-in and any dependencies. This file can then be used to update the add-in stored in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS. The updated add-in is then automatically deployed to users when they next open the application.

To update an existing add-in:

1. Open the ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS home page and log in to the same account used to upload the add-in initially.
2. Open My Content, find the existing add-in and tap or click it to open the item details page.
3. Tap or click the Update button.

   The Update Item dialog box appears.

4. Tap or click the Browse button, then browse to and select the updated opdashboardAddin file.
   Tip:

   The file must have exactly the same file name as the original upload.

5. Tap or click the Open button, then tap or click the Update Item button.

Once the add-in is updated, any operation views that reference it will automatically download the new add-in to the local cache the next time the application is opened.

If an add-in is no longer usable and will not be updated, it can be removed.

See the How to remove an add-in for more information.
