I have been working with agents in azure foundry. My deploy button has disappeared and I am no longer able to update deployments of my new agents.

Hi Sam Wynn,

I understand how confusing it can be when familiar deployment options appear to be missing in the new AI Foundry experience.

If you want to update an agent in the new AI Foundry portal, you can do so by saving the agent with the updated configuration. Clicking the Save button applies the changes to the agent, as shown below.

Additionally, to create a new agent, select New agent, as shown below.

For clarity, there is no Deploy button for agents in the new Foundry experience; saving the agent is the action that updates it.

Let me know if you have further queries.

Thank you for reaching out to The Microsoft Q&A Portal.

Just last week there was a deploy button, which means I cant deploy any of my other agents. You can see this screenshot that shows only the older version of my agent was published:

If thats the case then how am I supposed to publish these agents to teams or a365?

If your deploy button is missing in Azure Foundry, it could be due to several reasons. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Check Project Type: Ensure that you are using a hub-based project, as a Foundry project does not support this feature. You can verify your project type in the Foundry portal.

Role Assignments: Make sure that your user account has the necessary permissions. You may need to assign the Azure ML Data Scientist role to your managed identity in the Azure portal.

Access Control: Go to the Access control (IAM) section of your resource group and verify that the appropriate roles are assigned to your project.

Refresh the Portal: Sometimes, simply refreshing the Azure Foundry portal can resolve UI issues.

Check for Errors: If there are any deployment errors, they may prevent the button from appearing. Check the deployment logs for any error messages that might indicate what went wrong.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.
