There are two ways to create a new form version for the existing form:

Create a new Maestro Form Version from the Editor

To create a new form version of an existing form from the Maestro Editor:

2. Select Save dropdown arrow > Save as New Version.



3. Enter a new version number.

Since v17.10, the Journey platform follows open source semantic versioning conventions. Following this convention, all new form version names are recommended to start at version 1.0-develop until they reach production. In versions of Maestro prior to 17.10, form versions are incremented by whole numbers (for example version 1, version 2, version 3, etc.).
