[Data Connections](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/application-modules?hsLang=en#data-connections) # Switch to another Import Version Let us assume you have done a first **Import of a Linked Project** and [created some Model Objects](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/create-model-objects-from-a-linked-project-import-version?hsLang=en) from it. Now, your **Linked Project** from which you exported and then Imported has changed, and you have made a second **Import Version**. The switch to another Import Version feature allows you to: - [Compare the changes between the two Import Versions](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/switch-to-another-import-version#compare-import-versions) - [Update the Model Objects according to these changes](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/update-source-model-objects-from-a-new-import-version?hsLang=en) ### Compare Import Versions To compare **Import Versions**, open the Import left menu option in the [**Data Connections overview**](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/understand-data-connections-overview?hsLang=en) page: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-11-2025-01-23-49-3680-PM.png?width=1214&height=385&name=image-png-Sep-11-2025-01-23-49-3680-PM.png) Click on the **Context** menu for a **Version** that is **not currently in use** and select the **Switch Version** option: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-11-2025-01-24-21-6508-PM.png?width=1567&height=336&name=image-png-Sep-11-2025-01-24-21-6508-PM.png) The **Impact of updating the current source model** side panel window opens: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-11-2025-01-25-25-5944-PM.png?width=1733&height=888&name=image-png-Sep-11-2025-01-25-25-5944-PM.png) It contains: 1. The list of **Model Objects** affected by a change in the **Version** with an **indicator** icon, depending on the change: 1. **M for Modified:** there will be changes in an existing Model Object if I apply the new Version 2. **D for Deleted:** an existing Model Object will be deleted if I apply the new Version 2. The part of the **original Version** that concerns the **selected Model Object** on the left-hand side (1). 3. The part of the new **Version** for the **selected Model Object** 4. The **differences** between the 2 **Versions** For each **Model Object** on the left-hand side, we can identify the differences in panels 2 and 3: - **New elements** are highlighted in GREEN: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2023-03-54-01-9191-PM.png) - **Elements that have disappeared** are highlighted in RED: ![](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/hubfs/image-png-May-16-2023-03-54-13-2142-PM.png) You can then [update the Model Objects](https://knowledge.bigenius-x.com/update-source-model-objects-from-a-new-import-version?hsLang=en) to reflect these changes, if needed. ### Demonstration video   -
