Purpose

The purpose of this document is to outline the new changes in viewing detect only patches.

Symptoms

Patch Q numbers are displayed with a "D" at the end of the Q Number and will detect as missing, but they will fail to download or deploy.

Cause

Previously, we listed the same Qnumber for the detect only and the install versions of patches, but now, to ease confusion, we have changed the detect only updates to include a D at the end of the Qnumber.
