When you view an asset, you are viewing the active version of the asset. To propose changes to an asset, you create a draft version of the asset. When you are done making changes, you send your draft for approval. If approved, the draft version becomes the active version. If rejected, the draft version is discarded and the active version of the asset is available.

When you view an asset that was sent for approval, you can see the changes pending approval. You can compare the pending changes with the active version. If you are the last reviewer responsible for approving the draft, you can approve the changes while viewing the pending changes.

The following table describes the available versions for an asset:

If you are a reviewer, you can compare the draft version and active version to see moved, deleted, and added reference data. For more information, see Comparisons.
