Updating and Obsoleting Routes

I want to know how you update routes? I think you can only do it in Content Manager, as doing it in Surveyor results in a brand new KUID when you save it. The reason I want to know is that I want to remove a dependency for one of the routes I made that I forgot to remove (the dependency that is). Can someone help me?
 
Remove the asset in surveyor and save with the "Save" command not the "Save As." The "save" command will over-write the route, the "save as" will make a new route/kuid.

You can't edit the route in CM, but you can fix the KUID to increment the version number by one so that it obsoletes the earlier version and is acceptable to the DLS as an update.

Fix the dependency using Surveyor and save the route. In CM select the route, right click and choose Edit / Edit in Explorer. When the Explorer window opens double-click the config.txt file to open it in Notepad and change the KUID to what it needs to be - KUID2 format and the version incremented by one. Close Notepad and save the config.txt file. Then in CM choose File / Import Content from the menu and navigate to the folder that the asset was opened in (.../Userdata/Editing/<assetname>). The asset will be imported. Then select the original route, right-click and choose Edit / Revert. You will have two assets with the same name, so pay careful attention to the KUIDs to make sure you then upload the correct one.

As you are correcting the KUID to what it needs to be it doesn't matter whether you use Save or Save As from Surveyor after you have made the fix to the dependency.
 
Go to Content Manager,
Find the route,
Right-mouse-click the asset,
Select "Create new version" (near the bottom of the list),
Commit.
