When you edit or update any of the deployed supporting objects, the state of the supporting object and the primary objects that refer to the supporting object change to Needs_Deployment. In this case, you must redeploy the primary object.
For example, if you edit a deployed response, the state of the response, the responder that it refers to, and the rule in which the response is used changes to Needs_Deployment. The validity of the rule also changes to false as it is dependent on the response.
You can redeploy the objects that you have changed without undeploying the objects. In this case, the changes are affected only when you redeploy the objects. Objects that need redeploy are in Needs_Deployment state.
