# Create New Versions of Picklists

With Product Designer, you can track changes to picklist values. When you need to change a released version of a picklist, create a new version.

After a version of picklist values is released, no changes are allowed to that version. To change the picklist values, create a new version to add or discontinue values. To stop using a picklist, set it as inactive, but don't delete it. Deleting a picklist can affect the use of newer versions by existing assets. But you can delete an unreleased version of a picklist.

1. From the Products tab, click **Vlocity Picklists**.
2. Open a picklist, and click **New Version**.
3. Enter a version label for the new version.
4. Click **Save**.
    
    EPC clones the current version, including General Properties, Effectivity date, and Picklist values. The Lifecycle Status field is set to **Draft** so that you can make changes.
5. In the Picklist Items section, click **New Picklist Item**, delete a picklist item, or edit a picklist item.
    
    ![Example of the Picklist Items section and the General Properties for an item](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-comms_media_energy_managed-264-0-0-production-enus/ff4079f6-a384-475c-b863-578bbbb0ef9b/resources-product/images/versioning_picklist_item.png)
6. For new or changed picklist items, set the following properties, for example, a new download speed of 125 MB.
    
    - **Value** — Depends on the data type you selected under General Properties. This can be a date, a number, etc.
    - **Code** — For example, 125M.
    - **Label** — For example, 125 MB.
    - **Abbreviation** — Enter text.
7. Set the Effectivity dates and click **Active** to activate the new picklist value.
8. Click **Done**.
9. To release a picklist, click **Release**.
    
    After a picklist is released, you can't modify the picklist items, though you can change the picklist's description, name, active status, and effectivity dates.
