Process Model Version

I would suggest to have important versions filtered and stored.
The versions created in process of developing and testing a story can be ignored keeping the final developed version of the story in place. By this its easy to compare the last major version to current version.

In my experience, squashing old versions in dev works great. Any relevant versions of models are located in test or prod environments, and thus accessible if need be.

That would be a cool if Appian had a way to archive or mark to hide unimportant saves out of the box. I agree that it's true that you could accidentally delete a relevant version which would be bad.

I would be too scared a Dev would accidentally delete something important. I think what would be nice is if we could name or star important versions, and then filter to only the important ones.

What do you guys think about "squashing" old versions during dev cycle to just one version per story?
You can delete old versions directly from the modeler and only keep the version that you want to push to a higher environment.
It is dev overhead at this point, but avoids cleanup issues later down the line.

Thoughts?

As other practitioners have mentioned, there is no limit on the version. Below are the links which will help in details understanding
docs.appian.com/.../Managing_Object_Versions.html

Also, below Knowledge Base links help as well

Hi harshav420,

As Fellow practitioners said there is no upper limit for the versions, But it increases the disk space, so to avoid that delete the older versions.

for better understanding follow the below link

Hi,

There is no upper limit to version control.

But I would recommend you to delete older versions so that unnecessary wastage of memory did not take place.

No such limit, but with respect to space you can better understand here about process model versions docs.appian.com/.../Identifying_Process_Memory_Usage.html

Hi harshav420 ,

AFAIK, there is no such limit in the number of versions of objects either rules or process models.
But having more versions of a single object can involve in
1)occupying more disk space.
2)If there are not much changes from one object to other, then it takes developers time in exacting the major differences for comparing different versions of the object.

Thanks and Regards

Also, a high number of versions can lead to high memory usage. It's is recommended not to have more than 100 versions per process model in cloud environments.

However, as mentioned in another topic (community.appian.com/.../versions), an extremely large number of versions can have an effect on how useful the versions are to developers if there's a lot of redundant versions or the versions don't necessarily correspond to logical development cycles.

There is no upper limit on the number of process versions allowed.
