Version Generator

The Version Generator is a utility that manages versions of data in the database. There are two actions that can be performed with the Version Generator:

1. New versions of data can be created.
2. Existing data can be restored to a different version from a variety of database tracks.

The Version Generator can be accessed from the Tools menu. When the Version Generator opens, it is automatically populated with the appropriate database information and track options.
