Creating a Product Version

This task shows you how to create a new version of a product. Products can have one or more versions. When you create a new version, a copy of the structure is carried over by default and you can change or add features and options.

The revision sequence for products is alphabetic. Product versions are alpha-numeric. You can change these settings by using Business Modeler to change the policy's revision sequence number.

Before you begin: Access the list of product versions. For details, see Product Versions Page.
