Save As New Version

You can duplicate a new version of a requirements specification before it goes through the approval process, as well as after it's approved.

A new version can be created only when the requirements specification is in either the Draft or the Approved states and the status of the newly created version is always Draft. This process is to baseline a requirements specification.

With the requirements specification open, use the Actions list and select Save As New Version. It can be named according to your needs; no file name is prompted by the application. Remember that, once you create a file and name it by this method, it can't be renamed.

The new iteration of the requirements specification is a replica, except that information in the Comments and Impacts area isn't carried over to the new requirements specification.

After you use the Save As New Version option from a specific version of a requirements specification, the action is no longer available on that version.
