# Managing virtual environments, versions & flows

## Introduction

Over time, you'll likely need to manage different aspects of [existing virtual environments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/accessing-virtual-environments.md). The following sections include information for the three key aspects of any virtual environment:

* [Managing virtual environments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environments.md)\
  Information and guidance for managing the top-level virtual environment 'containers'. 
* [Managing virtual environment versions](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environment-configuration-versions.md)\
  Information and guidance for managing configuration versions for virtual environments.
* [Managing virtual environment flow deployments](/product-documentation/virtual-environments/managing-virtual-environments-versions-and-flows/managing-virtual-environment-flow-deployments.md)\
  Information and guidance for managing process flow versions that are deployed in a virtual environment.
