Alternate Versions enables the creation of additional draft versions of documents. These can be created and updated without impacting the editing or publishing of the 'main' draft version.
13+
14+
Versions are managed from the **Versions** workspace view on a document and inherit workflow permissions from the host document. Permissions to create, update, promote, and delete versions can be set per User Group.
15+
16+
## Working with Alternate Versions
17+
18+
- Ensure the User Group permissions are set to allow appropriate access.
19+

20+
- Navigate to the **Versions** Workspace View on a content item.
21+
![Versions Workspace View](images/versions-workspace-view.png)
22+
- Click the `Create` button to open a workspace modal containing a copy of the current draft.
23+

24+
- Update and save the new version.
25+
- The new version appears in the collection view.

27+
28+
Editors can create multiple versions of a document and update these independently.
29+
30+
An alternate version is not published directly. Instead, it is set as the current draft version.
31+
32+
If the host document has an approval workflow configured, versions must be approved via the same workflow before being set to current.
33+
34+
If the host has no workflow configured, versions can be set to current by any user with the `Promote` permission.
35+
36+
When a version is promoted to be the current draft, it can be further edited before being published. Publishing can be via workflow approval or directly, depending on configuration and permissions.
37+
38+
## Variant versions
39+
40+
Alternate versions can vary by culture or segment.
41+
42+
To create a variant version:
43+
- Select the desired variant using the document variant selector.
44+
- Create a new version as outlined above.
45+
46+
The collection in the workspace view will show only versions matching the current document variant.
