It depends on your slaves.

When you change something on the master, then you must increment the serial
number.

When the slaves see a higher serialnumber then they do upgrade.

When you have control over all your slaves then set your new number and
restart the master. Now stop the slaves. Delete the slave file and restart
the slaves.

If you dont have control over the slaves, it is a bit more tricky.
