After you have written or edited an object you can save this and publish it immediately. But perhaps after you published it you want to change it by adding some more text and a picture. You can work on this new version of the object without worrying about the current published version.
When you have opened the object (article) and changed the content you will find a box that says "Version info" on the right side. In this box you will find a "Manage" button. This button will open a new window where you see all the different versions of the article you are working on. The list will tell you version numbers, who wrote the article, when it was written and when it was edited or modified.
There will also be a (*) that shows the present version of the article that is published. If you want to change a version to be the "Current", tick the box next to the version that you want to set as "Current". If you want to work on the published and current version you need to make a copy of it. You do that by clicking the "Copy" button. Now you can edit the copy of the "Current" version and publish this. You can also save it as another draft. When you have published the "Copy", that is set to be the current version and the former current version is set to "Archived". Back in the "Edit view" you will find information about which version you are now working on and how many versions exist of this object.
