There are a couple of different ways to save your work: versions, draft, publish and auto saves. Technically, all of these are versions. They are just different types of versions. You can view all your versions by navigating to the “options” menu in the top right corner and clicking “Show version log”.
Whenever you open a new model, we save that this model now exists. As you continue to build your model, you should save your work via CMD/CTRL+SHIFT+S or through the “options” menu in the top right corner. This will save a draft of your work. If you at any point loose your work, we automatically create an auto-save every 30 seconds. We store up to 5 auto-saves per model per user. A version is a snapshot of your work at a given point in time. The only difference between a version and a draft is that a comment is required for a version. We recommend using versions to summarize your work after completing a part of a model. It makes it easier to understand what you have done and to revert to a previous version if needed. A published version also requires a comment. We recommend publishing when you have completed a model. Only models with a published version can be scheduled. The smart thing is that you can have a published version running on a schedule and still make changes to the model as a draft. Whenever you’re ready to publish your model, you can simply publish the draft and it will overwrite the published version.

A typical workflow

You start working on a model. Because you listen to our recommendation, you save it as a draft quite regularly. You get to a point where you’re happy with your work but the model is not quite ready. You save a version and attach a comment to it. The next day, you begin working again and this time you finish your model. You publish the model, attach a comment to it and schedule it. After a few days, one of your team members has a comment to the output. You open the published model, make a change and we’ll automatically create a new draft for you. You work on that draft for a few days. In the mean time, the current published model runs without impact. When you’re ready to publish your adjusted model, you can simply publish the draft and it will overwrite the previous published version. Your new version is now the published and hence, scheduled version. You can always access the last 5 auto-saves should you loose your work while building your model.

​
See and compare versions

You can see and compare versions by navigating to the “options” menu in the top right corner and clicking “Show version log”. From there click on the version you want to see.
If you want to compare that version to another version, you can do so by clicking on the version you want to compare to and then the “Compare” button.

​
Publishing models

You might now have the permissions needed to publish a model. If you don’t, you can request a member of your workspace who has the needed permissions to publish the model for you. They’ll receive an email where they can view the currently published model and your requested changes. They can either approve or reject the changes. You’ll receive an email with the outcome of the review.
