## Overview

This release of WebLogic Server has deprecated the Administration Console Deployment Descriptor Editor. A new Descriptor tab in the Administration Console has replaced it. Using the Descriptor tab, you can view, modify, and persist deployment descriptor elements to the descriptor file within the Application in the same manner that they were persisted using the Deployment Descriptor Editor.

These descriptor element changes take place dynamically at runtime without requiring redeployment of the application. The descriptor elements contained in the Descriptor tab are limited to only those descriptor elements that may be dynamically changed at runtime.

The Administration Console allows you to modify certain deployment descriptor elements and their attributes for Applications that are deployed as exploded archive files (you cannot edit these descriptors for applications packaged as `.EAR` archives). If you alter the value of any of these elements and select Apply, then the Application deployment descriptor file is updated and deployed to all of the appropriate server machines.
