XDR Auto upgrade Scope

XDR allows you to auto upgrade agent to any of the below:

Latest agent release
Only maintenance release
Only maintenance release in a specific version
Upgrade to a specific version

I want to check what exactly does "Latest agent release" means ?

According to my understanding it means our latest updated version of Agent installation is used and not Palo Altos known latest version.

Can someone clarify if it is correct or not.

Hi @Shaveta "Latest agent release" means the latest agent build that is available in the tenant. It is not dependent on the agent installers that are created manually.

The manually created agent installers are used while performing upgrades manually (via Action Center, Endpoints -> Endpoint Control -> Upgrade Agent Version or deployment tools like SCCM, JAMF etc.), and is used to upgrade an agent to a specific build version.
