Save This Version

Saving a specific version of a workpaper allows you to retain data from any point in time. ONESOURCE Workpapers stores each version of your workpaper, allowing you to review your information from different time periods without overwriting any data.

When you save a version of a workpaper, remember the following:

  • You must save workpapers to the Platform before you can use Save This Version.
  • ONESOURCE Workpapers does not append the workpaper name with a version number when you save a new version.
  • Versioned workpapers open as read-only. To make changes to a version of a workpaper, either revert to the original version of the workpaper and save as a different name, or open and save the version as a new workpaper.
  • After you save a version, you cannot delete that version.
  • ONESOURCE Workpapers only saves up to five versions of workpapers on the Platform. If you save a sixth version, it overwrites the first version of your workpaper.

To save a specific version of a workpaper to the Platform, select Save To Platform > Save This Version.

Screen capture showing the menu option Save To Platform As.

A message appears saying that the workpaper was saved (uploaded).

The Workpapers grid now includes the specific versions of the saved workpapers as shown in the following example.
