Creating a New Design Version

While working on a project, you may need to modify the initial input design and bring these changes into an existing project in the Design Manager. You can do this with the New Version command. The Design Manager automatically assigns a name for the design version, but you can enter a different name in the New Version dialog box.

To Create a New Design Version

1. Select Design New Version from the Design Manager menu.
   
   The New Version dialog box appears, as shown in the “New Version Dialog Box” figure of the “Menu Commands” chapter. For more information on this dialog box, see the “New Version Dialog Box Options” section of the “Menu Commands” chapter.
   
   
2. Enter a name in the Name field if you do not want to use the default name. Use the characters A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, period (.), underscore (_), or hyphen (-) only. The name should be unique within the project.
   
   
3. Enter any comments in the comment field. Use this field to note options and strategies.
   
   
4. Click OK in the New Version dialog box.
   
   The New Version window appears and displays messages while the Design Manager creates the new design version. The Design Manager displays a new design version icon in the project view.
