Version control

Create and manage multiple versions of your Tripod Beta diagram with version control.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create drafts, publish a diagram and manage version history.

Diagrams can only be published if your organisation has Version Control enabled.

Publish a diagram

When you create a diagram, it starts as a draft.

Step 1: In the diagram toolbar, click the paper icon.

Step 2: Enter a Version Name, add notes if you wish, then click PUBLISH.

Once published, the version enters Read-Only mode.

Editing a published diagram

Once a version of a diagram has been published, it is immutable. Subsequent changes can only be published as a new version.

Step 1: To change a published diagram, click the paper icon in the toolbar. You enter Draft mode and can edit the diagram.

Step 2: To publish your changes, click the toolbar paper icon again and enter a version number and notes.

Delete a version

Step 1: In the toolbar, click the Draft or Version button.

Step 2: In the Version History window, find the version, click its ellipsis menu and select DELETE VERSION. If you’re viewing the version you delete, you switch automatically to another available version.

Create a draft from a version

A diagram can only have a single draft at a time. This option is unavailable if the diagram already has a draft version.

Step 1: Click the Draft or Version button.

Step 2: In the Version History window, open a version’s ellipsis menu and click Create draft from …

Step 3: A new draft appears in the Version History window. Click it to start editing.
