 [TIPS] Dynamics 365 / Power Apps / Power Platform Version Control

Reference: 1

Dynamics 365 / Power Apps / Power Platform solution versions are in the format

 <major>.<minor>.<build>.<revision>

Key Points:

* Each time exporting a solution/patch,  the last digit  <revision> will always increment by 1.

* Each time cloning a patch, the third digit  <build> will increment by 1.

* Each time cloning solution,  the second digit <minor> will increment by 1.

At the beginning, create a solution with the version number. 1.0.0.0

Each time after exporting this solution, the solution version number will be incremented by 1 on the last digit number.

* Each time exporting a solution/patch,  the last digit will always increment by 1.

      For example, now the solution version is 1.0.0.2, after export, you will see the exported solution package version is 1.0.0.2.  but the solution version in Dynamics 365 system has changed to 1.0.0.3.  

Now, clone a patch, the version number will be changed to 1.0.1.3.

* Each time cloning a patch, the third digit will increment by 1.

If keep cloning patches, the version will be 1.0.2.3,  1.0.3.3, ... 

The patches will exist with their parent solution 1.0.0.3.

Now, click Clone Solution, the version number will be changed to 1.1.0.0.

After clone solution finished, all patches and old version of solution will be replaced with a single solution with version 1.1.0.0,

Next, if we keep exporting the solution, its version in the system will be changed from 1.1.0.0 to  1.1.0.1,  1.1.0.2,  ...

* Each time cloning solution,  the second digit will increment by 1.

But if we keep cloning the solution, the solution version in the system will be changed from 1.1.0.0 to 1.2.0.0,  1.3.0.0,  ...
