Set the Object Version as Current or as a Baseline

The Versions tab displays information about the versions of an object. You can perform the following tasks on this tab:

• Determine when and by whom a specific version was created and last updated
• Determine which is the current version of an object and, optionally, designate a different version as current
• Determine which versions are baselined and, optionally, designate one or more versions as baselined

The product initially designates an object that you create as (working) Version 0. When you save the object and you check it in for the first time, the product designates it as (current) Version 1. From this point on, the product designates one version as current and uses this version whenever the process runs. The product starts the current version by default when you open the object from the Library. By default, modified versions of objects assume a status of current upon check-in. Optionally, you can use the Current button to assign the status of current to any previous version. This option lets you create a version of the object that the product does not access or open by default. You do not have to check out an object to set the current version. Only the object owner or a user in the Environment Content Administrator role has permissions to designate a version as current.

You can baseline an object version to lock it from further updates. Users can use the baselined version as a template from which to create a checked-in, newer version. Consider baselining a version when you do not anticipate making more changes to the object. For example, it is a good practice to baseline objects before you package them for export. The version that you baseline can be the current version or another version.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Library tab.
2. Select a folder, right-click an object, and then select Properties.
3. On the Properties pane, click the Versions tab.

   Note: See the tooltips or the User Interface Reference for field descriptions and examples.

4. (Optional) Click the active Current button of a version to set it as the current version and deactivate the button.
5. (Optional) Click the active Baseline button for one or more versions to set them as baseline versions and deactivate the button.

   Note: You cannot revert setting a version as a baseline. If you update a baselined version, you must save it as a new version.
