HESH's versioning system allows you to track changes and manage multiple iterations of your products.
By reading this article you will learn how to manage your product development process efficiently and maintain a history of product updates.
The newly added product is created in a draft mode.
To convert draft product to published (ready to be taken into production), the following steps must be taken:
fill SKU for configuration
add at least 1 Workflow without issues
fill SKU for variant
make sure that at least 1 product's variant is active
If at least one of the conditions is not met, a warning icon is shown and "Publish version" button is disabled
Click on the "SKU" field
Enter the SKU for configuration
Click on the "Add" button
Enter the name of the workflow
Click on the workflow zone to open Workflow template canvas
Fill the workflow with the tasks and components that match your manufacturing process. See Workflows to find how to create workflows
All requirements were met and product is ready to be published
Click on the "Publish version" button
Confirm by clicking on "Publish" on the confirmation modal to finish publishing
Versioning helps you:

Manage multiple iterations of your products
Publish new versions without affecting current productions
To view detailed information about version, click on the accordion button on the "Version" tab
