Details

 

The Update To/From Catalog features in SI 2015 allow control and flexibility of what data gets updated to/from your SI 2015 Catalog.

 

There is a Project Setting that can trigger the Update To Catalog feature when edits are made to Items in a Project:

When set to "Prompt" the Update to Catalog form will open automatically when you edit an Item in a Project.
