When a customer deploys your offer, they will be able to delegate subscriptions or resource groups for [Azure delegated resource management](../../lighthouse/concepts/azure-delegated-resource-management.md).

You can [publish an updated version of your offer](update-existing-offer.md) at any time. For example, you may want to add a new role definition to a previously-published offer. When you do so, customers who have already added the offer will see an icon in the [**Service providers**](../../lighthouse-/how-to/view-manage-service-providers.md) page in the Azure portal that lets them know an update is available. Each customer will be able to review the changes and decide whether they want to update to the new version.
