Iterations

In 3DEXPERIENCE, iterations are file versions that track changes without creating a new revision. Each time you save, the platform creates a new iteration, such as A.1 to A.2 to A.3, keeping all changes within the same revision.

How Iterations Work

  • Save progress without making a new revision. Every save creates a new iteration, so you can track changes without affecting the official version.
  • Stay within the same revision. All iterations remain under the same revision, such as A, and only a significant update creates a new revision such as A to B.
  • Keep work-in-progress changes. Iterations help you save progress but are not meant for final approval.
  • Quickly go back if needed. Since 3DEXPERIENCE keeps previous iterations, you can revert to an earlier version if required.
