Create a version create-version-forms-manager

To create a version of a form asset:

  1. Navigate to Adobe Experience Manager > Forms > Forms & Documents.
  2. Select the form or asset.
  3. In the left panel, select Timeline.
  4. Click Save as Version in the timeline toolbar.
    Save as Version
  5. Enter a Label and an optional Comment to describe the changes.
  6. Click Create.
    Save as Version2

The version appears in the timeline panel with its label, comment, and timestamp.

Version an asset during upload version-on-upload

When you upload an asset with the same name as an existing asset, Forms Manager displays a File Upload dialog that lists the assets to be updated. The dialog shows the asset name, section, and path.

When an asset with the same name already exists, the upload replaces the existing asset and creates a new version automatically. You can view the created version in the timeline.

The timeline displays all version entries along with activity events. Each entry shows the label, comment, author, and timestamp.
