A version is a set of changes made to a Screen at a particular time by a Process designer. Versioning maintains a record of all named and unnamed changes to that Screen. Any of these versions may be viewed or retrieved, if needed. The Version History page displays all saved versions of the Screen in a tabular format from where they can be edited and/or marked as the Current Version according to your business needs. The current version of a Screen is used in all new Requests of a Process using that Screen. Version changes are not reflected in Requests which were in-progress or already completed when the version changed. See the Versioning package for more information.
