# Recreate Detection Script
*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V2.x*\
*Available at level: All Custom Products, All Products, Vendor, Product*
\
*Available on tab: ConfigMgr Apps, Intune Apps, Intune Updates*
The **Recreate Detection Script** option forces the Publisher to regenerate the PowerShell detection script for the selected application or applications.
This option is primarily used when a code-signing certificate has changed. Existing detection scripts remain signed with the previous certificate, which can cause validation or trust issues. Recreating the detection script ensures a new script is generated and signed using the current certificate.
Recreating the detection script can also be useful when you want applications to receive improvements made to the detection logic. The Publisher periodically enhances detection scripts to improve reliability, logging, and compatibility. Using this option allows applications to receive the latest detection method even if the vendor has not released a new version.

**Note**
When this option is used for products on the Intune Apps or Intune Updates tabs, the Win32 application requirement script, as well as the detection script, is regenerated and updated automatically.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/customizations-right-click-options/recreate-detection-script.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
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.
