Managing the repository
Update Retriever enables you to manage the updates in your repository.
Viewing updates in a repository
You can view updates in the repository by choosing Manage repository and then selecting Update view.
You can view updates by filtering by operating system, language, machine type, severity, and status. In
the Update view panel, you can sort the list of updates by update ID, title, version, reboot type, severity,
license, or status. You can select one or more packages and modify or delete them. You can also select
non-Lenovo packages and modify the triplets.
Modifying an update package
