Managed version control

With managed version control you cannot directly modify any of the version-controlled attributes on a CI. Instead, you create a future version of the CI and when the change is approved, you make the future version into the current version. These changes in version can either be made directly from the CI window, or as part of a Change process.

A managed CI has one of the following statuses:

• Future – a version of the CI that is planned, or being prepared, but which is not yet in use
• Current – the version of the CI that is currently in use
• Previous – a version of the CI that is no longer in use

You can use actions as part of a Change process to move a managed CI between these different statuses, or you can use actions available directly from the CI window to change the status between Future, Current, and Previous.
