Updating a presenter that's used on multiple CH hosts?

Liberty Create - Build Advice

I have today updated a presenter we use in CH for task access buttons, everything works as it should but I have a question regarding its deployment.

This presenter was originally built and added to all 6 of our CH hosts
(waste, planning, grants, enquiries, internal & base).

I have today made lots of changes to the following files in the presenter on the internal host, and added 2 new code studio references.

I understand I will have to create the 2 new CS references on each host.

But wondered If I can download the updated presenter and add that to each host (and it will overwrite the existing presenter, not breaking any of the existing components using it)

Or do I have to manually update each presenter.

I’m unsure what happens if you upload a presenter with the same name as an existing one? Is it overwritten, and therefore anywhere I have used it will be okay.

Many Thanks

You would need to update each independently in this case I’m afraid.

The CS components are referenced by their unique IDs (not name), so uploading another of the same name will not impact or replace the original one.

Thanks for the super speedy response Bob.

I was hoping I could shortcut my updates, but alas No.
It’s just a copy paste of 3 components code then publish x 5 hosts.

You might already be aware of this, but you can use the replace function, to upload the updated component file which will just replace the target component.

Saves making edits within the actual component.

Aha, I had completely forgotten about that!

That will be a much easier option for you Jonathan, assuming all settings are the same so you don’t lose any mappings/config.

Thanks Ged, perfect timing with your solution.

I was just about to update the components manually.
