Creating a new version

After you have made changes to the project, you can create a new version of the component. A version is always created when important changes in the project need to be saved for possible restoration.

The button for this is also located in the Edit view. Only when you have created a new version locally can you check it in, i.e. save it on the Server.

  1. Select the desired component in the Project tree.
  2. Select the Create new version button in the Edit view or press the keyboard shortcut F3.

  3. If the component is new and no version of it exists on the server, a version of it is created directly. If a version of the component already exists on the server, the Create new version dialog opens.

    The differences to the previous version are displayed here. If configured in your system, you must add a comment to the new version.

  4. Create a new version using one of the two buttons Create local version or Create version and Check-In in the menu bar of the dialog.

    • Create local version: The version is created locally without being copied directly to the server.
    • Create version and Check-In: The new version is created locally and copied directly to the server via a Check-In.
