   * Update only one application
   * Update all applications
-To update only one application, simply delete the content of ''//<VISIONX_DIR>/rad/apps/<APPNAME>/WebContent/ui//'', extract the nightly build archive and copy the content of build directory into the ''//<VISIONX_DIR>/rad/apps/<APPNAME>/WebContent/ui//'' directory.

Start or reastart VisionX and all applications should be automatically updated. A disadvantage is that it's not easily possible to switch back to the old UI. It's possible if you have a backup of the old UI directory.
