Every change on the timeline creates a new version of the iModel. However, some versions could be more important than others, for example represent milestones or significant events to be saved or reviewed. Giving a unique name (a.k.a. creating a Named Version) allows version to be easier to recognize and access.

Named versions can also be viewed in web browser using iTwin Design Review application.

Creating a named version

Follow these steps to create a named version:

1. Go to iModel Changes Tab
2. Find the last required change in the timeline
   NOTE: The list of changes included in named version cannot be changed after its creation.
3. Select Create Named Version button
   NOTE: You need to have Manage iModel Versions permission.
4. In Create a Named Version dialog add a name (required) and description (optional)
   NOTE: you can see which change is the last included from the timeline as well as what is the name of previously created named version.
5. Click Create

After creating named version, you will be taken to iModel Named versions tab. If needed you can edit named version name or description using Update action item.

Sharing a link to named version

If you want to share named version view link with others, there are few easy ways how to achieve that:

• Use Copy link action item found in named versions list context menu to copy the URL.
  Receiving the link does not grand any additional permissions to this iModel. To web view it at least Read iModel permission should already be assigned.
