# Recreate a Patch My PC Cloud Deployment

*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

Using Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud, you can delete software from Intune and recreate it to retrigger the deployment on the targeted resources.

To recreate a deployment:

1. From the **Deployments** page, click the ellipsis (**⋮**) beside the relevant deployment you want to recreate and click **Recreate**.<br>

2. On the **Are you sure you want to recreate <*****deployment\_name*****>** dialog box, click **Yes**.<br>

   \
   The **Status** of the deployment changes to **In Progress** and the **Recreating the deployment&#x20;*****\<deployment\_name>*****&#x20;has started** message is displayed.<br>

   \
   Once the deployment has been recreated, the portal auto-refreshes and the **Status** changes to **Success**.<br>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip**

You can also click **Recreate** on the property page of a deployment to recreate it.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

If the deployment you are recreating has [Update Rings](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/update-rings.md) enabled, clicking **Recreate** will result in duplicate versions of the apps being created in Intune. Any existing assignments will be automatically moved from the old version to the new, recreated version.

Also, if the deployment you are recreating has [App Dependencies](/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/deploy-app/configurations-tab/additional-tools/dependencies.md), clicking **Recreate** creates a new app, creates any dependencies, deletes the dependencies for the old app, and finally deletes the old app from Intune.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/manage-deployments/recreate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
