Just curious if I need to delete the integration and re-add it on policies after updating an integration. Found this: [Best workflow to update integrations - Elastic Stack / Kibana - Discuss the Elastic Stack](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/best-workflow-to-update-integrations/269819)

But no answer. I'm running into the same thing.

Hey Josh, i created that original post. I'm not aware of any better way yet.  
What's even worse is that some integrations (especially the endpoint security integration) _can't_ be configured until it is active in the policy. I don't understand why - The UI even taunts you with

> We'll save your integration with our recommended defaults. You can change this later by editing the Endpoint Security integration within your agent policy.

This is bad when I want to have a detect-only policy. I have no way to configure this until the policy was rolled out to agents using the defaults, which are set to prevent.

I guess things like this is why Fleet is not in GA yet.

If I read the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/agent-policy.html#integration-updates) right, you're supposed to create a _new_ policy with all the updated integrations, then roll over all agents to this new policy.

Though this approach is not much better with the current UI - you still have to re-configure the integrations from scratch, and there is no way to bulk-assign agents to the new policy.
