1. Navigate to your Visual Studio online project and locate the latest build.
2. Within the build details, click on Artifacts and download the file starting with AXDeployableRuntime.
3. The size of the file varies; once it includes hotfixes to the base application, it can inflate to over 600 MB.
4. Next, download the binary updates to a folder; this should be taken from the development server that started this process in order to ensure that the updates are the same as applied to developer and build servers.
5. Open https://lcs.dynamics.com/.
6. Open Asset library from the "burger".
7. Select Software deployable package.
8. If any are marked Release candidate, select them and click on Not release candidate.

11. Enter the build number and version in the description, and select AOT deployable package as Package type.
12. Upload the file.
13. Repeat this for the binary update, for example, Binary20170306.
14. Select both updates and click on Merge. Use the Merge20170306 pattern, and click on Confirm.
15. Click on the project name at the top to return to the project details page.
16. Click on Full details on the Sandbox: Standard Acceptance Test option.
17. Click on Maintain and then Apply updates. Select the merged package from the list and click on Apply. This starts immediately and all Operations services will be stopped. You can use Message online users to warn them in advance of this.
