The last version is displayed on the first line at the top of the grid.
Versions with the 'Active' or 'Prototype' status can be put on temporary hold.
For versions with the 'Stopped' status, you can specify which ones are associated with an exception.

It is also possible to link a text or comment to each version number.

The minor versions can be accessed, if they are managed, either in the Actions menu at the start of the line, or via a link at the end of the line.
