Hijacked

If the update found any hijacked files, the results display includes a Hijacked folder.

Click Hijacked to display the following columns and parenthetical annotations in the right pane of the window:

  • Name
  • Old version: The version that you hijacked.
  • New version: The version selected by the config spec. The version is identified by its version ID. The following annotations are possible:
