Each process in the system is assigned a version number. A version number is a unique identifier assigned to a specific state of a process or document. It shows how many times the item has been updated or revised and helps track its history.

For example:

Version numbers allow users to know which version is current, see past versions, and restore earlier versions if needed. Version control is managed through several mechanisms. To read more about each item, select the provided links within the below information.

When a new version is published, the version number automatically increases, and the previous version is saved in history. This ensures that both the latest and past versions remain accessible for reference.

The system automatically tracks changes. Updates to the process increases the version number.

Users can create a future state version to update a process while keeping the current version accessible. This allows changes to be prepared without disrupting the live process. Once the process is published, the version number will automatically increase.

When an offline process is reinstated, its version number moves to the next whole number and requires republishing.

Previous versions can be restored if necessary, providing a reliable way to revert changes. Only whole numbers are stored in the history e.g., v1.0, v2.0, v3.0 etc. which is created when a process is published.
