Information
About

Building

Block

Versions

and

Tagging
The
ANM

maintains

version

history

for

the

building

blocks

that

you

create,

design,

and

tag.

You

can

tag
a
working

building

bl

ock

version

at


any

point

during

design

or

configuration,

and

reuse

any

t

agged
version
of

a

building

block.
A
building

block

is

not

available

for

deployment

until

it

has

been

tagged.

When

you

tag

a

building

block,
the
ANM

publishes

it

with

a

version

tag,

such

as

1.0

or

1.1.
You
cannot

edit

tagged

versions

of

a

building

block.

After

a

building

block

is

tagged,

it

is

“frozen”

and
can
no

longer

be

modified

in

any

way.

When

you

open

a

t

agged

building

block

for

editing,

t

he

ANM
does
not

modify

the

tagged

version,

but

instead

creates

a

new

working

copy

of

the

building

block

for

you
to
work

in.

Any

changes

you

make

to

the

working

copy

are

not

available

for

deployment

until

you

tag
the
building

bl

ock

under

a

new

version

tag.
