Switch to another Import Version

Let us assume you have done a first Import of a Linked Project and created some Model Objects 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
• Update the Model Objects according to these changes

Compare Import Versions

To compare Import Versions, open the Import left menu option in the Data Connections overview page:

Click on the Context menu for a Version that is not currently in use and select the Switch Version option:

The Impact of updating the current source model side panel window opens:

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:
  
• Elements that have disappeared are highlighted in RED:
  

You can then update the Model Objects to reflect these changes, if needed.
