Following are reasons windows and controls in the repository need to be updated. The reason is displayed for each control in the Repository Changes dialog box. See Reviewing and saving repository changes.
| Reason | Explanation |
|---|---|
| New control | The window or control does not exist in the application repository and will be added. |
| Smart matching | The search criteria for the window or control will be automatically updated because the selected properties do not differentiate the control from new controls captured during recording. See About smart matching. |
| Image update | The repository image for the control will be automatically updated. Images are only updated if the Update preview images when recording option is selected in the Options dialog box. See Setting general options. |
| Format applied | The URL format rules for the application version will be applied to the control. See Applying URL format rules. |
