When assets have spent some time circulating on customer touchpoints, a moment may arrive that the asset is in need of an update. Such a change can be either fundamental and significant, or superficial and modest. Either way, a new version represents a change in the asset, compared to its predecessor.
This article describes:
1. What to base a new version on
The default starting point to create a new version, is on the latest version. The status of that latest version does not matter: you can begin creating a new version, even when the latest version has expired.
2. How to start a new version
To start a new version, go to the latest asset. For this example, we'll follow the basic diagram above, where the user bases his new version on v2.1.0 (active).
There, you open the Action menu (...) and choose 'Create new version'
3. Choosing where to manage the draft new version
Next, Cohero will ask you in which project you want to manage the creation of this new version. You can either pick a project in the same Space as the asset currently sits in, or you can create it without linking it to a project. Use the dialog to search for the appropriate project, and make your selection.
4. Seeing the initial draft reflected on the canvas
After you have selected the appropriate project, you land on the asset page of your (New version) Draft asset. And as you can see, the chosen 'predecessor' version is already placed on the canvas - intended to give you a starting point.
