Object order is crucial when an update is created. Update high-level objects (parent objects, sources) first, which are not included in the old repository version; then all the objects created on the basis of these objects.
NOTE. On separating administrator roles and depending on the selected method of access control it is possible to add update elements available to user and also differences in work with update elements and managing object update options.
When an update is created, an added object can be used to create other objects, and he can use objects that must be included in the update. To determine object contents, use the Consists Of/Included In contents menu items.
If report preview is enabled in the repository, when reports are added to the update, their preview images are not added to the update because they are not part of metadata. To add images to update, set the Transfer Object Sketch parameter to Yes on update setup. After the update is applied, preview images are set to objects if the Allow Displaying of Objects as Icons without Taking into Account Object Access Permissions checkbox is selected in the target repository's security manager.
To add the selected object from navigator to the update select the context menu item:

If for dictionaries added to update (including MDM dictionaries) the following child objects were set up: selection schemas, groups of elements or import/export schema of MDM dictionaries, the child objects will be displayed in the Update panel as nested.
NOTE. On separating administrator roles and depending on the selected method of access control there may be differences on working with update elements and also in the parameters control of the object update.
If the Workbook object type is added to the update, the target repository must contain a measures dictionary with the MEASURES identifier or a units dictionary with the UNITS identifier to correctly update objects.
Some types of repository objects show special features when they are added to update:
