How to: Promote an Application's Status Blueprint

Estimated Reading Time:  2 minutes

Overview

This how-to guide explains promoting an application's status blueprint to a new environment. Whenever you promote an application that uses a status blueprint, you must also promote the Status Blueprint Accelerator. Because status blueprints are recorded submissions, they aren't promoted alongside application promotions. So, you must import the blueprint to your new environment.

If you have specific JSON you'd instead like to import, that is also an option. Imported JSON to a pre-existing blueprint overrides that blueprint and replaces it with your JSON.
