- Execute an update set scan
Use an update set scan to run applicable checks against the current versions of records that have updates in the update set. If a record has been modified since it was added to the update set, the scan reflects those later changes. Issues that exist only in the update set version of a record aren't detected. - Execute an app scan
Scan the installed files of an application as well as the application record itself with applicable checks by executing an application scan.
