# Reviewing version information for virtual environment process flows ## Introduction When reviewing version information for a process flow that's deployed to virtual environments, there are two levels to consider: * [Process flow version information](#the-process-flow-versions-panel) * [Deployment information](#the-view-deployments-modal) ## 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" %} To access this information, open the required process flow, access [process flow settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings.md), then scroll down to the `versions` panel. {% 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.
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. It's important to remember that a single flow version can be deployed to multiple virtual environments. So: If a flow version shows as `deployed` here, then it is currently deployed to at least one virtual environment (or to no virtual environment). If a flow version shows as `inactive` here, then it has been disabled in/deleted from all virtual environments where it was previously deployed. With this in mind, you'll likely want to view deployment activity for each version at a more granular level. You can do this within view deployments.
...	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](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/implementing-virtual-environments/deploying-a-single-process-flow-to-a-virtual-environment/understanding-flow-versioning-for-virtual-environments.md)):

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 marketplace	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, including from any associated virtual environments and packages. Remaining version numbers are re-sequenced accordingly.

## The view deployments page Each time a process flow version is [deployed](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/implementing-virtual-environments/deploying-a-single-process-flow-to-a-virtual-environment.md) to any (or no) environment, an entry is added to the `view deployments` page for that flow - for example:

{% hint style="info" %} To access this information, open the required process flow, access [process flow settings](/product-documentation/process-flows/building-process-flows/process-flow-settings.md), and then click `view deployments`:
![](/files/IbDkPC3WTEMP34qRMx2R) {% endhint %} From here, you can see the following details for each deployment:

Heading	Summary
Virtual environment	The name of the virtual environment selected for this deployment. This is appended with the environment `type` (either `test` or `live`).
Version	The process flow version number selected for this deployment. This is appended with the version `id` (a unique identifier for the version, which is needed if you're working with virtual environments via the API).
Enabled at	The date and time (UTC) that this deployment was made, appended with the username of the person who completed this operation.
Queue priority	The queue priority selected for this deployment.
Package	If a flow version was deployed via a package, the package name is shown.
...	Access options to work with the selected deployment.

{% hint style="info" %} If you want to see all flow deployments across all flows and virtual environments, you can view the [current flow deployments page](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environment-flow-deployments/viewing-flow-deployments.md). {% endhint %} ### Virtual environment deployment options The ellipsis associated with each deployment provides access to the following options:

Option Summary

Edit Use this as a shortcut if you want to deploy a given version again, with similar settings. This populates the virtual envrionment, flow version, and queue priority fields with selections used in the given deployment. From here you can change the virtual envrionment and/or queue priority fields, then deploy the given version again.

Disable / Enable

Option	Summary
Edit	Use this as a shortcut if you want to deploy a given version again, with similar settings. This populates the `virtual envrionment`, `flow version`, and `queue priority` fields with selections used in the given deployment. From here you can change the `virtual envrionment` and/or `queue priority` fields, then deploy the given version again.
Disable / Enable	Availability depends on whether the selected deployment is currently enabled or disabled, so you set the reverse state. Note that: If a deployment is `enabled`, it will run in the associated virtual environment. If a deployment is `disabled`, it will NOT run in the associated virtual environment.
Delete	Delete the selected deployment. This removes the flow version from the associated virtual environment and sets the status to `inactive`.

Availability depends on whether the selected deployment is currently enabled or disabled, so you set the reverse state. Note that:

If a deployment is enabled, it will run in the associated virtual environment.
If a deployment is disabled, it will NOT run in the associated virtual environment.

Delete Delete the selected deployment. This removes the flow version from the associated virtual environment and sets the status to inactive.

### Deploying & disabling a process flow By default, a flow version is deployed and `enabled`, which means it runs according to any defined trigger settings immediately (i.e. it's 'live'). If you aren't ready for a deployment to be live, you can use the `disable flow` option:

In this case, the process flow is deployed to the selected environment, but it won't run automatically. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/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?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
