*Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud*

If you have already successfully deployed an app using Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud, you can convert that deployment to use Update Rings.

To convert an existing deployment to use Update Rings:

1. [Edit the deployment](https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-cloud/deployments/manage-deployments/edit) and navigate to the **Assignments** tab.
