When you click OK, you are asked if you want to update the business rules of the existing DLL. Click OK to confirm.

If the new DLL does not contain all business rules that the existing DLL does, business rule templates that are not included in the new DLL are deleted by this function, if they are no longer in use.

If a business rule has a different signature, it is not possible to update the rule if it is being used.
