# Assessment versioning

## **Assessment versioning**

Cirrus supports versioning for assessments, allowing you to manage changes safely and transparently.

**Key benefits**

- Schedules always use the latest published version, provided it is published at least 20 minutes before the schedule starts.  

Published versions are indicated by a green arrow and Published: Yes.
- Full version history is available, including performance statistics per version, so you can compare outcomes over time.
- Edit locking prevents conflicting changes: while you are editing an assessment, other authors cannot make changes.

**Where to find this** All versioning options are available via the **[…] menu** in the top-right corner when working on an assessment (subject to permissions set by your admin).
