Overwrite Previous Package

The Overwrite Previous Package option gives Publishers the choice to Merge or Overwrite packages. The Merge/Overwrite choice is applied when a Subscriber installs a package.

The Overwrite Previous Package option is enabled by your Service Provider. The default single sign-on setting on on-premises installation is Off. The default single sign-on setting on the cloud is Off. (Contact Support to make changes.)

Considerations

• When the Overwrite Previous Package option is enabled, these options become available as part of package configuration:

Merge

During installation by a subscriber, the new Package items are merged with the subscribers' existing database (previous package)

Overwrite

During installation by a subscriber, the new Package items overwrite the subscribers' existing database (previous package)

• If the subscriber has created new items/platform elements, they are not affected (unless there is a naming conflict, in which case, the published package will overwrite the subscriber-created items)
