1. Install the widget from the catalog.

If using policies:
• Click Catalog - Update Widgets from your My Widgets sidebar panel options menu.
• Allow the local catalog to be updated/replicated on its regular schedule and be aware that the new widget will be added and the feature it is designed to deploy will be installed, when the local catalog is updated.
If not using policies:
• Click Catalog - Update Widgets from your My Widgets sidebar panel options menu. Click Catalog - Preferences, select the category in which the widget resides, and click Apply.
• Open the catalog (click Browse the Widget Catalog button in the My Widgets sidebar panel toolbar), highlight the widget, and drag it to your My Widgets sidebar panel.

Note When you install a new feature, you are prompted to restart the client.

The widget catalog is checked for updates based on a replication schedule. Adding or removing a category in the Widgets preference panel adds or removes widgets on the client in or from that category.

Any features called by a widget in a category to which a user is subscribed are installed on that user's client system.

Feature updates are provisioned to the user automatically provided that you have properly updated and signed the contents of your feature update site, properly updated the widget's extension.xml file by incrementing the "version=" setting in the requirements section of the extension.xml, and updated the version number in the feature's Eclipse update site site.xml file to match the widget's extension.xml file's feature "version=" setting.
