You can link a version of an implementation guide to a previous version. This allows you to view changes to the implementation guide and all of its templates.

Note: You can create a new version of an implementation guide only if it has been published. Each time you publish a version, you can create a new version and link it to the previous version.

Create a New Version of an Implementation Guide

  1. From the Browse > Implementation Guides page, select New. A blank implementation guide appears in the editor.
  2. Enter the name of the previous version of the implementation guide.
  3. Note: Do not include a version number - it is added automatically.
  4. From the Previous Version drop-down menu, choose the previous version of the implementation guide. Select X to clear the previous version.
  5. Select Save. The new version of the implementation guide is saved. It contains all the templates from the previous version, but its Publish Status is set to Draft.
  6. Once you have saved the new version, the Previous Version link appears in the View Implementation Guide page.
  7. Once you publish the new version, you can reference it as a Previous Version in a new implementation guide.

Note about versions: Version history is saved with a template. When a new version of a template/profile is created, use the Changes tab of the Template Viewer to see the changes in the template/profile since the previous version.
