# Recreate Detection Scripts option in Patch My PC Publisher

*Applies to: Patch My PC Publisher V3.x*\
*Available at level: All Custom Products, All Products, Vendor, Product*\
*Available on tab: ConfigMgr Apps, Intune Apps, Intune Updates*

The **Recreate Detection Scripts** right-click option in Patch My PC (PMPC) Publisher forces Publisher to regenerate the PowerShell detection script for the selected application or applications.

This 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.

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.

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

When used for products on the **Intune Apps** or **Intune Updates** tabs, the Win32 application requirement script and the detection script are automatically regenerated and updated.
{% endhint %}

## 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/list-customizations/recreate-detection-scripts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`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.
