Publishing a model

Typically, if our software will be developed by third parties, at some point, "we freeze" our model in order to provide it to them, so they can study and apply it. The action of

publishing

a model is made using the

Publish

button on the top right of the screen.

Clicking on the button will open the publish window.

Model versions

A model is versioned each time it is published. Thus, we have two types of versions related to the publish state of the model:

• Current version: it is the latest version of the model, which can be edited. However, precisely because it is being edited, this version still can't be used in the analysis.
• Published: all released versions of the model have this state. A published version cannot be edited. Only the last published version can be used to run an analysis. Other versions are kept to manage historical data.

All versions of a quality model can be accessed through the drop down box in the Models Manager toolbar:
