Set the Release Version of Objects to Export

The Versions tab displays information about the release version(s) that are set for the selected object. You can set the release version when you are ready to deploy an object to a production environment. An object's release version typically identifies its specific version for deployment. Through the Release Version field, for example, you can set the release version attribute for a process and each associated object.

When you are ready to deploy an object to a production environment:

• You can export a single object.
• You can export all of the objects in a selected folder, including its subfolders.
• You can export the objects as a content package. In this case, release versions are required on every folder that you export as a content package, and all of the objects included in the folder. Once the content package is imported, the release version cannot be modified in the new environment unless a copy of the object is made.

Note: See What is the Difference Between Exporting an Object, a Folder, a Content Package, and a Package for more information.

In each case, the exported file contains the value of the release version attribute of each object being exported.

You can set the release version in the following ways:
