    Note:

    When a new version of the predefined RTF template is shipped:

    • • If you haven’t made any modifications to the previous predefined RTF template, the new version will be automatically used at runtime.
    • • If the predefined notification template has been modified, the new version of the predefined template won't be automatically used. In this case, if you need the new version, you will have to configure the new predefined RTF template and reapply the customization that were applied to the old version.
