3. In the Add App Store Group Policy window, select from the following settings:

   1. From the Groups drop-down menu, select the groups to which you want to apply this configuration.
   • Groups are synced from Zscaler Internet Access (ZIA).
   • If a group is already configured for an app update, that group cannot be added to subsequent app updates until the pending app update is complete.
   2. In the Windows - Version to Install, macOS - Version to Install, and Linux - Version to Install drop-down menus, select the Zscaler Client Connector version you want automatically updated on your users' devices.
   • When multiple versions are configured for the same OS, and a user belongs to more than one group in those configurations, the latest version is updated for that user.
   • If any devices are already upgraded to a later version, you cannot roll out an update for an earlier version.
   3. For Zscaler Client Connector version 3.7 and later for Windows, enable or disable Use 64-Bit Installer for Windows to install the 64-bit build on devices.
   4. (Optional) Click in the Apply From Timestamp (in UTC) field and select a date and time from the calendar to define a time and date for your auto-update to start.

   5. Roll Out Type: Select one of the following methods to deploy an app update:

      • Phased Rollout: Enable this option to deploy the selected Zscaler Client Connector versions to the selected groups in a gradual rollout.
