Versions can be created for SNOMED CT, ICD-10-UK, OPCS-4, Mapping Sets, Value Sets, and Local Code Systems (individually). Reference Sets and Map type Reference Sets can not be versioned separately, since they are part of a SNOMED CT version.
To create a version:
Verify that all changes are saved.
Go to Tools > Create version
or click theCreate version
button in the main toolbar.
Select a Code System.
Enter a unique version name and a description. If applicable, existing versions are displayed in the section to the right.
Use the calendar icon to specify an effective time, i.e. publication date.
Click Finish
to proceed.
You can only specify a date that is later than the (date of the latest) previous version. An error message will inform you in this case.
You can track the versioning process in the Remote Jobs View.
The components that were modified since the last publication will be updated during the versioning process by changing the effective time from Unpublished to the specified publication date. Components that were not modified will not be updated and keep the original publication date.
After the versioning was completed, the create version appears in the Code Systems View.
