Managing version stacks

Learn how to view, add, reorder, and manage version stacks in Air

Written by Lauren Ford

Who can access versions on Air?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Supported on any Air plan

✏️ Anyone who has view access to the workspace, library, or board can view versions

🗺️ Anyone that visits an active share link with 'Show versions' enabled

The feedback process doesn't have to be messy — Air's version feature keeps it from getting out of control. Now everyone on your team has visibility to new changes, and all of your iterations are contained in one place.

We call these version stacks, referencing our capability to stack new revisions on top of your original unedited asset.

You can also store related documents and non-visual files related to the original asset: no more lost content, no more confusion around what's up to date - no more clutter. Versions are a digital manila folder that keeps correlated files and visual assets together for maximum organization power.

Use this article as a how-to guide for all things versions.
