Creating a new version adds a number to the parent synID (e.g. syn12345678.2), which can be used to reference or query that version within Synapse. Navigating to the parent synID (syn12345678) will always display the most recent changes to the view, regardless of whether you have included them in a version.
Creating a Version
Versioning Tables and Views
From a table , or view , or dataset, navigate to theTable Tools or Entity View Tools menu, then respectively. Then select Create a New VersionSnapshot from the dropdown menu. Add a label and a comment about this version. Any text entered in the label field is appended with the word “Version” in the version history. For example, entering “Final” as a label appears as “Version Final” in your version history.
Versioning datasets
The process of versioning a dataset differs from that of Tables or Views. To the left of the Dataset Tools menu are four icons, click on the Create Stable Version icon. Add a label and a comment about this version.
