Considerations for Working with Concept Versions

Create and use versions of a concept to save and track the progress of your concept design.

Note: Concepts and proposals can have versions independent of each other.

Version Numbers

When you create a version of a concept, all the data of the source concept is copied into the newer version, and it's automatically numbered to the respective highest version number available. All previous versions are rendered read only. Versions can be made of the latest or older versions of a concept.

Older Versions of a Concept

You can edit only the latest version of a concept.

To reuse and edit an older concept version, create a version from it. If previous concept versions were approved, you can only create a new version from the last approved version or higher. You can also create a separate copy of the concept using Save As. You can't save versions of a concept or concept component that are converted or which are in the Submitted status as a new version.

Version History summarizes all versions of a concept, including version creation dates and version owner information, but you can't edit any details in it. Use the Version Selection tool to switch between versions.
