# Collaborate on and Publish a Draft Version of a Dashboard

If you are listed as a publisher, you can review and edit a previous dashboard version. Then save it as the draft version for othesr publishers to review and publish it as the live version that all CRM Analytics users view.

Make sure you’ve opened Version History for the dashboard you want to work on and that you’ve made yourself a Publisher.

Select the **Versions** tab to see a list of all versions of the dashboard. The version at the top of the list is the live version that all CRM Analytics users see. In the default state, when you open, edit, and save any version of the dashboard, it becomes the live version that other users view. It also becomes the newest version at the top of the list.

Here’s how to work on a draft version behind the scenes.

1. In the **Versions** tab, click the triangle to the right of the version link at the top of the list and select **Make Live**. It’s now marked **Live** in the **Versions** tab.
2. Open any version of the dashboard (including the live version). Edit and save it.
3. Click the ![Dashboard ... icon at upper right](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-analytics-bi-264-0-0-production-enus/ec791473-f5b4-4f64-a656-9104f455d966/bi/images/bi/bi_dashboard_dotdotdot.png) icon and select **Version History**.
4. The version you edited and saved now appears at the top of the list as a new version. It’s marked **Draft**, which means that only other publishers can view it. Other users in the org continue to view the version marked **Live**. Anytime you edit and save the dashboard, that version appears at the top of the list and is marked **Draft**.
5. Other publishers can open the dashboard, click **Version History**, and view the version of the dashboard marked **Draft**.
6. When you decide the draft version is ready for other users, click the triangle to the right of the version link and select **Make Live** to publish it. The published version becomes the live version that other CRM Analytics users view.
