After version management is enabled for a website, Edge Security Acceleration (ESA) dynamically divides website configurations into version-level configurations and global configurations for the website.
Create a version
After version management is enabled for a website, ESA dynamically divides website configurations into version-level configurations and global configurations for the website.
When you enable version management for a website, ESA automatically creates version 0 for the website.
You cannot directly create a version. You can create a version only by cloning an existing version. The version number of the version created from cloning automatically increments by one.

On the Websites page, find the website that you want to manage, and click the website name or View Details in the Actions column.

Make a version read-only
We recommend that you select the Read-only Environment check box for the production environment to make the version in the production environment read-only. This can prevent version configurations in the production environment from being accidentally modified.
You can modify the configurations of the version in the production environment by using one of the following methods:
Change the version in the environment to another version and change configurations of the version.
Clear the Read-only Environment check box for the environment and promote the newer version to the production environment.
