To create an update request and adding it to the queue a configuration must be applied. To do this navigate to the ‘Apply update’ page. To create a configuration to apply here either use the ‘Make configuration’ page or create a template yourself. To be able to select the template here it must have the name ‘update.xml’.

Figure 1: Apply Update

Select a configuration

An existing configuration can be selected using this dropdown. The existing configurations can be seen and edited by navigation to the ‘View configurations’ page. With a configuration selected, Make will display a form where you can specify where the template will be applied on your SharePoint farm or tenant. Additionally, the template specific parameters are displayed.

Configuration location

The configuration location is the starting location where Make will start applying the template. If you are creating site collections, this should be the root of your tenant or web application. For subsites you can specify the absolute URL of the parent site.

Additional parameters

When a configuration is selected additional input fields will be shown. These input fields correspond to the parameters of the configuration. These parameters are used in the template. Each input field must have a value.
