Project Versions

Project versioning lets teams capture snapshots of a project at key milestones and track how the design evolves over its lifecycle.

Why use versions?

Source of truth — Always know which version represents the current state of the project.
Design history — Neatly organize versions in sequence (e.g., 50% DD, 100% CD).
Compare design options — Test different materials, structural systems, or product selections and compare the impact side by side.

How it works

Create a version

Each version has a name and date:

Name can be a project stage (e.g., “Issued for Permit”) or free text (e.g., “100% DD concrete swap”).
Date can be a project stage date or a custom date you enter.

When you create a version, it's pre-populated with gross floor area and structure system from the project.

Creating a version

Click + Create new in the versions panel. You'll see two paths:

Create manually — Upload the documents for the new version yourself.
From Autodesk — Pick documents directly from your connected Autodesk project folders.

Navigating versions

Switch between any version of the project from the Project Summary and Building View pages. When you switch, all details — data points, outliers, BIM — update to reflect that version's data.

Published vs. draft

Projects and versions can be published or unpublished:

The newest published version is automatically labeled as “latest.”
Unpublished versions are kept for historical reference.
Methodology changes apply to all versions, published and unpublished.

Version actions

Action	What it does
Edit	Update the version name, date, or details.
Delete	Permanently removes the version. A confirmation prompt appears.
Copy	Duplicates all version data — including documents and takeoffs — into a new version. The new version stays attached to the same BIM model as the source.

Documents and data

Documents are uploaded per version. When copying a version, documents from the source version carry over to the new one.
Download data to Excel for a single version or all versions of a project. The version name is included in the export.
