# Flexcards Versioning (Managed Package)

For the managed package runtime, Flexcards supports versioning. You can create an identical copy of a Flexcard by creating a new version and keeping other versions with the same name, and author, but with a new version number. Create a new version when you want to make slight modifications to a Flexcard already published to Lighting or Community pages, and elsewhere.

![Managed Package app icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-omnistudio_for_managed_packages-264-0-0-production-enus/aa2554ec-624a-4ee6-8da4-6435670e6e62/resources-global/_corporate/images/managedpackageicon.png) This information is for Omnistudio for Managed Packages. For Omnistudio on standard runtime, see [Omnistudio Help](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_omnistudio_standard.htm&language=en_US).

The name, author, and version combination must be unique for each component in an org. Only one version of a component can be active at a time. When you create a new version of a Flexcard in the Flexcard Designer, the version number increases by 1 and the Status is inactive. See [Create a New Version of a Flexcard (Managed Package)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_create_a_new_version_of_a_flexcard.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For the managed package runtime, create a new version of a Flexcard in the Flexcard Designer when you want to make slight modifications to a current. Creating a version of a Flexcard makes an exact copy with a version number equal to the latest version number plus one. For example, if you already have two versions, the new version number will be 3.").

When you create a new version of a Flexcard in the Flexcard Designer, a new version is created dynamically. You can't choose the author or name of the new version. To create a new Flexcard based on a current Flexcard, and to update the Author and/or Name, you must clone your Flexcard. See [Clone a Flexcard (Managed Package)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_clone_a_flexcard.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "For the managed package runtime, create an identical copy of a Flexcard with the Clone feature in the Flexcard Designer. Cloning an existing Flexcard creates a new Flexcard with a new Name, or Author, or both. The Name and Author must be unique.").

The following table describes the fields involved in the versioning process:
