Duplicating a Version

When you duplicate a Version, you can choose the version number of the new Version, or let the Vendor Portal assign the next available one.

This is useful if you develop several branches of your CyberApp in parallel. For example, a bug fix for the current Version and a new Version with more features. You can give each branch its own numbering scheme so that the versions don’t get mixed up.

Note

When you duplicate a Version, the initial state of the new Version is draft.
The maximum number of Versions in the draft state is 10.

To duplicate a Version

  1. Open the Version list.

  2. Open the duplication dialog in one of the following ways:

    • Click the Version list entry to open the actions and details panel, and then click duplicate in the available actions bar.

    • Click the ellipsis button on the Version list entry, and then select duplicate from the dropdown.

  3. [Optional] Enter a version number in the New version number field.

    If you leave the field empty, the new Version gets the next available minor version number that’s higher than the number of the Version you’re duplicating.
    For example, if you duplicate Version 3.0 and leave the field empty, the new Version is 3.1. If Version 3.1 already exists, the new Version is 3.2, and so on.
    If you enter a version number, it must be unique. If you enter a number that’s already in use, an error message appears and the Version isn’t duplicated.

  4. [Optional] Change the Comment.

    The field is prefilled with the comment from the Version you’re duplicating.
    The comment appears in the Version list (as the Description column entry) and helps you tell the duplicate apart from the original.

  5. Click Duplicate.

The new Version appears in the Version list in the draft state.
