Why each option
To update a vDisk with new application content in Provisioning Services, the administrator must first create a new vDisk version, which enables a maintenance mode workflow for applying changes.
Merging vDisk versions is a consolidation step performed after updates are complete to reduce the version chain, not a step to initiate a new update.
Creating a new vDisk version in the Provisioning Services Console places the vDisk into a versioned maintenance state, allowing the administrator to boot a target device from that new version, install the application update, and then promote or seal the version for production delivery. This is the standard vDisk versioning workflow that enables non-destructive, incremental updates without modifying the base vDisk image.
'Update Machines' in Citrix Studio Machine Catalog applies to Machine Creation Services (MCS) workflows, not Provisioning Services vDisk versioning.
Restarting a target device from the Provisioning Services Console simply reboots the device on its currently assigned vDisk version and does not create or initiate any vDisk update process.
