# Update the production route - Impact workspace

Use **Update route** to replace the production route with the route associated with the **To version**.

## Steps

1. Go to **Product information management > Engineering change management > Engineering change orders**.
2. Open a released ECO you want to review.
3. On the Action Pane, in the **Business impact** group, select **Open impact workspace**.

The workspace opens for the selected ECO.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If the ECO has no lines yet, the button is unavailable. Add at least one affected product first.
4. In the **Production orders** section, locate the affected production order.
5. Select **Update route**.

The **Update route** pane opens on the right.
6. Review the production order and item number.
7. In the **Route ID** field, select the route associated with the **To version**.
8. Review the operation comparison.

The comparison identifies operations that were added, removed, or changed.
9. Review the expected scheduling impact, including the run time and estimated completion date.
10. Select **Replace** to update the production route.

To close the pane without updating the route, select **Cancel**.

After the update is complete:

- The production route operations are replaced with the operations from the selected route.
- The **Action status** changes to **Route updated**.
- An entry is added to the **Change log**. For more information, see [Track actions in the change log](/manufacturing/docs/track-actions-in-the-change-log-impact-workspace).
