Update Packaged Items

To keep your Marketing Cloud Engagement packages working as expected, update them regularly.

Before you begin, identify the deployed package you want to update and the package definition associated with it.

Note
Note There’s no limit to the number of items that you can include in a packaged solution. But each item must be smaller than 5 MB, and the packaged solution can’t exceed 50 MB.
  1. Hover over the Platform menu and select Package Manager.
  2. On the Packaging tab, find the package definition associated with the deployed package.
  3. Next to the package definition, click Expand Icon and select Edit.
    The items previously included in the package are automatically selected.
  4. You can add more items or remove existing items.

    To view all selected items, click Show Details. To return to the grid view, click Hide Details.

    When you select an item, all its dependencies are included, such as email messages and data extensions.

  5. Finish creating the package. You can use the same options that you used in the original package or different options.
  6. Click Download Package.

    If you plan to deploy using the Engagement package manager, download as a ZIP.

    To host the file in a secure location and link to it from another package, download the JSON.

  7. On the Deployment tab, click Deploy to start the deployment process.
  8. In the Item Validation and Usage section, use the Action menu to select how to handle updated items.

    For each updated item, you can keep the existing version, update to the new version, or keep both items by renaming the new version.

    You can update all supported items, except filter data extensions, synchronized data extensions, and data extensions that your business unit doesn’t have permission to update.

    If your package contains new items, you can create or skip them.

    You can skip items only if they have no required dependencies or if they’re a dependency of an item that has been skipped or reused.

  9. Finish deploying the updated package.
