You can integrate this feature using these guidelines

The “Push Driver Updates” package is designed to push driver updates from the CapaInstaller Console. The package was previously called “Update Drivers”

The “Publish Driver Updates” package is designed to be published in the CapaInstaller Software Catalog. The package informs the end user before starting the download of driver content packages.

The “Force Driver Updates” package is designed to run completely silent. The package doesn’t prompt the end user before starting the driver update and doesn’t show any warning prompts.

The “Collect Result and Cleanup” package was previously called “Post Update”. The new package contains the same functionality.

The “Download Content Package” package is designed to download (cache) the driver content package on endpoints, before starting the driver update.

Our Set & Forget mentality is now fully supported.

This means that CapaDrivers will automatically detect if a driver content package has already been applied - and then skip job execution accordingly.

You can override the default behavior with a setting in each package.
