The changes made in the process model are saved in manually generated model versions. Manual historization (in contrast to automatic historization) also offers the option of not documenting changes.
All changes made in the process model since the last save are saved in a "virtual model version" (last model version number +1) until ...
> a model version is created manually [+] , then saved [CTRL+S] and the virtual model version becomes a new one,
> a new model version is created manually, the process is ended with cancel and then saved [CTRL+S] (see note below).
By creating a new model version [+] the previous model version is closed and a new model version is created with all changes in the process model since the last save.
Only in the case of manual historization is there the option of discarding changes that have been made.
- To do this, save the process model [CTRL+S]
- Now make the changes that should not be documented
- Click the plus button [+] on the History tab. The changes that have occurred since the last save are now displayed in the window Create model version XX is displayed.
- Now click Cancel and then save the model again [CTRL+S]. The previously listed entries are not documented.
