Updating a virtual environment version
Introduction
Once a virtual environment version is deployed, it cannot be edited. Any updates to the current (i.e. deployed
) configuration for a virtual environment must be made in a draft
version, and then this version must be deployed.
The steps
Access virtual environments
Log in to the dashboard and select virtual environments
| overview
from the left-hand navigation menu.
Select the required virtual environment
Click the name associated with the virtual environment that you want to access - for example:

Access the DRAFT version
If a draft
version exists, access it now - for example:

Test the updated configuration
Having completed required updates, you can test them against your master process flows. For more information, please refer to Testing a process flow against a virtual environment.
Deploy the configuration
Your updated configuration will be applied after it's deployed.
Creating a new virtual environment draft version
When a virtual environment is first created, a draft
version is added automatically, ready for you to update. Similarly, when a draft
version is deployed, a new draft is created. With this in mind, a draft
version will typically be available when you access an existing virtual environment.
However, there may be times when you need to create a new draft
version - for example, you may have lost track of what changes have been made in the current draft and want to start again from scratch, or you might want to start again based on the setup for an existing deployed
or inactive
version.
Creating a new draft from scratch
Access the relevant virtual environment
If you're not already working in the required virtual environment, log in to the dashboard and select virtual environments
| overview
from the left-hand navigation menu, then select the environment to update.
Select the required virtual environment
Click the name associated with the virtual environment that you want to access - for example:

Delete the existing DRAFT version
Move down to the configuration versions
panel and delete the existing draft
version - for example:

Create a new draft
Click the create
button:

Configure the draft version
A new draft version is created, and you can configure replacements as needed:

Deploy the configuration
Your updated configuration will be applied after it's deployed.
Creating a new draft based on an existing version
If you want to use an existing deployed
or inactive
version as a starting point for editing, you can create a draft
using the create draft from version
option.
Access the relevant virtual environment
If you're not already working in the required virtual environment, log in to the dashboard and select virtual environments
| overview
from the left-hand navigation menu, then select the environment to update.
Select the required virtual environment
Click the name associated with the virtual environment that you want to access - for example:

Access options for an existing inactive or deployed version
Move down to the configuration versions
panel and click the ellipsis icon associated with the inactive
or deployed
version that you want to use as the starting point for your draft
- for example:

Create draft from version
Select the create draft from version
option:

Update draft version
You can now access the draft version and configure replacements as needed.
Deploy the configuration
Your updated configuration will be applied after it's deployed
