Model versions
A model is versioned each time it is published. Thus, we have two types of versions related to the publish state of the model:
- Draft: the latest version of the model, which can be edited. However, precisely because it is being edited, and thus unpublished, this version still cannot can't be used in the analysis.
- Published: all released versions of the model have this state. A published version cannot be edited. Only the last published version can be used to run an analysis. Other versions are kept to manage historical data.
All versions of a quality model can be accessed through the drop down box in the Models Manager toolbar:
