How to Add a Version in File Viewer
Open the existing file in File Viewer (double-click file).
Click "+" from Versions on the left sidebar.
Select "Upload New Version," "Add URL / Link," or "Link Existing File." You can also drag a file from your computer onto the Versions sidebar to upload it as a new version.
"Add URL / Link" opens "Add a version from a link". Paste a web page to add a fresh capture of it, a file shared from Dropbox, Google or Microsoft, or a link to another Warrant file you have access to. For a web page, the version is added right away and the page is captured in the background. You can give the version a "Version label".
The new version becomes the Primary and the previous versions are saved. You can drag and drop to reorder versions in the sidebar (the top version becomes the Primary), or click "Set as primary" on any version.
You can also edit the name of the file as well.
How to Add a Version from Create New
Click "Create New" and select "File Upload."
Choose your file.
If the file has the same name or identical content as an existing file, Warrant shows a "Similar File Found" prompt. Select the existing file and click "Add as New Version."
The same works for links: if you add a link from "Create New" > "Website URL" and that page or file is already in your library, Warrant offers "Add as a new version".
The new version becomes the Primary and the previous versions are saved. You can drag and drop to reorder versions in the sidebar.
You can also edit the name of the file as well.
Custom Fields on a New Version
A new version starts with the custom field values of the version it replaces, so you don't have to fill them in again. Change any of them on the new version and the earlier versions keep the values they had.
Fields an admin set to Clear on new version, such as a request ID that belongs to one version only, start empty on each new version. See Add Custom Fields.
