Upgrade App Versions in Playbooks after Import
Analysts can upgrade apps to the latest version to use the latest features and enhancements. In addition, the apps which have been used in Playbooks can also be upgraded.
Orchestrate 3.X supports the capability to import apps developed in a 2.X instance to a 3.X environment. If you export an app from a 2.X instance, and it is of a higher version than the app version in 3.X, then you can choose to upgrade the app nodes in all of the Playbooks associated with the app.
Before you Start
Ensure you have the Create/Update App Config permission to import the app.
