A patch consists of a patch definition and how it is detected. It also contains the necessary signatures and fingerprints required to determine if the patch is applicable to a given endpoint, and also whether it has been installed.

The Ivanti Content Wizard allows you to create patches for endpoints hosting a Windows operating system using the Patch Creation Wizard. For more information, refer to Using the New Patch Wizard.

If you want to create patches for non-Windows operating systems, refer to Creating a Linux Patch.
