Switch to a new template version

When you publish a new version of a template, a Postflow can follow it automatically or stay on the version you chose. That choice is the version policy of the Postflow.

#The two version policies

#Change the version policy

1. Open Postflows and choose the Postflow.
2. On the Flow tab, choose the template step. It shows the template name and the version in use, for example v3.
3. Under Version policy, choose Latest published or Pinned version.
4. For a pinned version, pick the version under Pinned version.
5. Choose Save.

The template step also shows Version in use and Latest published, so you can see at a glance whether the Postflow is behind.

#Move pinned Postflows when you publish

When you publish a new version and pinned Postflows use the template, the publish dialog offers to move them. Tick the option, for example "Use v4 in the pinned Postflow Welcome card from the next item", and choose Publish. If a Postflow could not be moved, the editor tells you, and you change it on the Postflow itself.

#Which items get the new version

An item gets its template version at the moment it becomes ready to print. So after a switch:

• Items that are still held, or waiting for approval, get the new version when they become ready.
• Items that are already ready, scheduled or in production keep the version they were given.
