Hi,

If you are maintaining the same files, installed to the same location, in a component of your Feature, but in a later release/update of the package, update those existing files with a later version, can you maintain the same GUID for the component to which they belong?

The files are the same but the version of each file has been incremented, I understand that the GUID's should not change - is this correct? Similarly if you update a merge module with a later version of the file - the component HAS to maintain the same GUID. Further - the GUID of a component should only change if new files are added. Am I correct?

TIA,
SL
James

That's correct - as long as the new version is backwards compatible.
