Create Zap versions

You can create multiple versions of a Zap, all viewable in the sidebar of the Zap editor. 

Create a new Zap version

Zap drafts automatically appear in the Versions section of the Zap editor sidebar. When you publish the draft, a dialog box will appear to create an optional description of the version for reference. Once published, the following information will appear for the version in the sidebar and top menu in the Editor:

• The name of the user who published the version.
• An auto-generated version number.
• The date and time that the user published the version.
• A title of the version, if the user created one (sidebar only).

To create a new Zap version:

1. Click Edit in the top menu.
2. Edit your Zap.
3. When you’re done, click Publish in the top menu to publish the new version of your Zap.

Note

You can only have one draft at a time. If you attempt to create a new draft when one already exists, a modal will appear asking you to confirm that you want to replace the existing draft. Click:

• Cancel to save the existing draft.
• Replace to create a new draft.

Tip

In your Zap history:

• When you view the Zap details page for a specific Zap run, you can see the specific version name and number that the Zap was run on. It appears at the top of the page, below the name of the Zap. 
• You can search for runs from a specific Zap version using the Search Zap history search box. Enter the version number (for example, "v3") or version name in the search box.
