**Summary**: This article provides an overview of Update Remediation by Assessment and its functionality.

**Update Remediation by Assessment (URbA)** is a function that compares the last two assessments in which a given asset has been found. If a vulnerability was found in an initial assessment for a given asset and a subsequent scan no longer shows that vulnerability on the asset, running URbA marks that vulnerability as **RM Approved by Scan** and is considered closed. Likewise, if a vulnerability has been marked as Approved using the manual remediation process but is still found in the following scan, running URbA puts that vulnerability into the **RM Reworked by Scan** state and is considered open. Findings in the Risk Acceptance (RA) or False Positive (FP) workflows are not affected by URbA.

Users need the IAM privilege **Integration Manual Upload Control** to run URbA on assets.

To run URbA, navigate to either the **Manage > Hosts** or **Manage > Applications** pages. For this example, we will use the **Network > Hosts** page.

The process is identical for web applications, except you would navigate to **Manage > Applications** to initiate the process instead of **Manage > Hosts**.

Select assets to compare by clicking the check box in the page’s first column. You may select more than one asset within a client.
