Add new version

• Name - Type in the name of your new version. The name can be in your preferred language
• Slug URL – Type your custom URL slug in your preferred language
• Version status – You can select the status of your new version as beta, public or deprecated. However, the Main version should be public and cannot be deprecated

• Base version – You have two options in this section.
  • Start a fresh version: Choose this option to create a new version with no categories or articles
  • Select an existing version: Choose this option to create a new version with some or all categories from an existing version. Only selecting this option is enough to select all the categories from an existing version. If you wish to select only some categories from the existing version, select the desired categories from the Choose categories.

Home page themes

• When you create a new version with the Start a fresh version option, the Default theme is configured for the home page across all the languages in the new version.

For example, you are creating a new version, "Version 6" with the Start a fresh version option. The languages available are English, Arabic, and Chinese. The home page theme of English, Arabic, and Chinese are configured with the Default theme.

• When you create a new version with the Select an existing version option, the selected version's respective language(s) theme is configured for the language(s) in the new version. If you add any new language(s), the Default theme is configured for the new language(s) home page.

For example, you are creating a new version "v2.0" with existing version "v1.0" as the base version and French, English, and German are the languages available in the existing version "v1.0". If you add Arabian language in the window, the home page of Arabian language is configured with the Default theme. The theme of the French, English, and German in the new version "v2.0" is configured as the respective languages' theme.
