# How do I have each component of my medical device upload an SBOM independently? When using the GitHub action to upload an SBOM, why does a specific version override the content of what I had previously uploaded?

### **Distinguish between different, effective builds.**

If you would like to utilize multiple, parallel, effective builds at the same time, you should be able to use the `build-name`parameter in the GitHub Action and `buildName` in the API to distinguish them

Please note that buildName in the API and build-name in the GitHub Action, although they look similar, may not be used interchangeably.

See this related [FAQ](why-do-my-automatic-test-executions-appear-blank-or-seem-like-they-disappeared.md) and our [Ketryx documentation](https://docs.ketryx.com/api/build-api#builds) for more context.
