# Accessing process flow versions ## Introduction All versions associated with a process flow can be accessed via the `versions` panel in [process flow settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings.md). From here, you can view summary details for each version and, if required, switch to a given version on the canvas. ## The steps {% stepper %} {% step %} **Log in to the Patchworks** If you haven't done so already, log in to the [Patchworks dashboard](https://app.wearepatchworks.com/login). {% endstep %} {% step %} **Access process flows** Select `process flows` ➤ `process flows` from the left-hand navigation menu:

{% endstep %} {% step %} **Access process flow settings** Select `flow settings` from the actions bar - for example:

{% endstep %} {% step %} **Scroll to versions** Scroll down to the `versions` panel, where all existing versions of the process flow are listed:

The version that's currently available to view and (if applicable) edit on the canvas is shown with an 'eye' icon in the selected column. To switch to a different version, click anywhere in the associated row - for example:

{% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ## Understanding the process flow versions panel The versions panel is available in [process flow settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings.md) - for example:

{% hint style="info" %} Version details are different if you use virtual environments - in this case, please refer to [Reviewing version information for virtual environment process flows](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/implementing-virtual-environments/deploying-a-single-process-flow-to-a-virtual-environment/understanding-flow-versioning-for-virtual-environments/reviewing-version-information-for-virtual-environment-process-flows.md). {% endhint %} From here, you can see the following details for each *version*:

Heading	Summary
#	The flow version number. The version number remains constant unless another version is deleted, in which case any remaining version numbers update accordingly.
ID	The unique identifier associated with a version. This identifier remains constant, even if the original version number changes as a consequence of another version being deleted. If you are using our API to work with virtual environments, you'll need this `id` to target the required flow version.
Selected	Indicates which version is currently displayed on the canvas.
Created	The date and time (UTC) this version was created.
Updated	The date and time (UTC) this version was updated.
Status	The current status of this version. Each new version of a process flow starts as a `draft`, and increments the version number. The version then progresses through its own lifecycle (where a `draft` can become `deployed` and a `deployed` version becomes `inactive` when superseded by another deployment. Note that flow versioning works a little differently if you use virtual environments. In this case, please refer to Understanding flow versioning for virtual environments.
...	Access options to work with the selected version.

### Version options The ellipsis associated with each version provides access to the following options (availability varies, depending on the version status):

Option	Applicable from status...	Summary
Duplicate flow	draft, deployed, inactive	Copy the selected flow version to a new process flow.
Copy to draft	deployed, inactive	Overwrite the existing draft version with content from the selected flow version.
Upload to marktplace	deployed	Upload the selected version to your private marketplace (only applicable if the partner features bolt-on is enabled for your company profile).
Delete	inactive	Deletes the selected version entirely.
