You need to publish a blueprint only once. Any changes you make to a published blueprint are
automatically reflected in the catalog.
Note You can also publish component blueprints to have them come under the control of approvals.
However, component blueprints can not be used to request individual component machines. For related
information about creating and configuring approvals, see Tenant Administration in vRealize Automation
documentation.
