NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND UPGRADE

Communicate to users how to obtain the widget or inform them that they will be automatically provisioned with the widget and its feature
Once you have tested and reassigned the widget's category name as above, users can either obtain the widget manually or let the client automatically provision the widget, and the feature that the widget is designed to install, to them.

Tell users how to obtain the widget or inform them they will be automatically provisioned with the widget, and the feature it is designed to deploy, upon their next catalog update.

1. Install the widget from the catalog.

2. Respond to any feature installation prompts that appear.
3. Upon restart, note the addition of the FeatureABX widget in the My Widgets sidebar panel and the feature called by that widget.

The widget catalog is checked for updates based on a replication schedule. Adding or removing a category in the Widgets preference panel adds or removes widgets on the client in or from that category.

Any features called by a widget in a category to which a user is subscribed are installed on that user's client system.

Feature updates are provisioned to the user automatically provided that you have properly updated and signed the contents of your feature update site, properly updated the widget's extension.xml file by incrementing the "version=" setting in the requirements section of the extension.xml, and updated the version number in the feature's Eclipse update site site.xml file to match the widget's extension.xml file's feature "version=" setting.
