   • Update all: Select to update functionality and content based on the default settings.
   • Functionality only: Select to update functionality and exclude any content changes.
   • Select settings file: Select to update functionality and content based on a custom settings file (if previously created during a template update).
4. From the Installed Templates list, select the templates that require updates.
5. Click Next.

6. A list of engagement files displays based on your directory and filter configurations.
