    When you select a workspace, its screen names and layout names are shown in the left grid.

    The value, (unknown) in the Screen Name column means there is no known usage of the layout in the upgrade version.

  3. In the Apply to frame, select the workspaces which you would like to update.
  4. Do one of the following steps:
    • In the Select column, select the check boxes of the layouts you want updated in the workspaces and clear the check boxes of the layouts you do not want updated.
    • To select or clear all the check boxes, select the Check/Uncheck All check box.
