Widget instances that have been deployed are not automatically upgraded when new versions of the widgets are released. This protects deployed widgets that have been customized from failing if the customizations are not compatible with the upgrades. In order to use a new version of a widget, you must remove any existing instances of the widget from your page layouts and replace them with the upgraded version. You also need to re-create any template or style sheet customizations for the upgraded widget.
To upgrade a deployed widget:
Make a copy of the template and style sheet code before the existing widget instances are deleted, and save the copy to an external file.
Note: This code can be used as a reference for editing the new widgets once they are placed in the page layouts.
Log in to the Oracle Commerce Cloud Service administration UI.
Click the Design tab.
From the Layout menu, select the page layout that contains the widget you want to upgrade.
On the upper right corner of the Layout page, click the Grid View icon.
Locate the widget on the page. Click the X icon to delete the instance.
At the bottom of the page, click Components.
Drag the upgraded widget and drop it in the same location as the widget you deleted.
Repeat these steps for all instances of the widget.
Edit the widget to include any modifications made to the previous instance using the Design > Code tab. Base these changes on the copy you made before deleting the widgets.
