View source for Mass Deployment of Packages to Tenants

Provides the Service Provider with the ability to [[Package]] applications for distribution to multiple tenants. This feature is provided to extend the functionality of [[Package]] upgrades in a multitenant environment.

If an item contained in the package being deployed already exists in the tenant's system/platform, then deployment will result in an upgrade/update, otherwise, package deployment will result in a brand new installment of the item. Learn more: [[Overwrite Previous Package]]
