Introduction

The active version of a blueprint is the version to be used whenever someone chooses to install this blueprint from your private marketplace. By default, the initial version of a blueprint becomes active when a blueprint is created. For example:

 

Each time you publish an update for an existing blueprint, a new version is generated. At this point, you can choose which version should be active.

If you have updated an existing blueprint, we recommend promoting it to a test company/environment before it is set to `active`. Please refer to Updating a private blueprint for a suggested update workflow.

Need to know

When an updated version is set to active, two things happen:

• This becomes the version used when someone chooses to install this blueprint from your private marketplace.
• An update available indicator is added to this blueprint in the private marketplace for any 'child' company profiles where it's installed. You can apply these updates in a bulk operation or individually.
