# Editing a selected version

## Editing an application item – using a form as an example

Depending on where in the system you are working from, the way to navigate to editing an application item may differ slightly.

### **Editing the latest version of the form**

If you are in the **Library**, in the **Forms**, editing the selected form will be possible after clicking its row on the list and then using the **Edit** button (the pencil icon in the top right bar).

Alternatively, the form can also be opened from the **Forms** tab in the **Applications**module, provided that the given form has previously been added to the given application. In that case, clicking its row will take the user directly to the form editor.

### **Editing a selected version of the form**

To edit a specific version of a form (e.g. an older or test version), open the **Version history**:

* view – from the form editor, by clicking the **Versions**,
* button – from the **Library** or **Applications** module, via the context menu in the **Forms**tab, by selecting the **Version history**.

**Version history** displays a drop-down list of main versions (`1`, `2`, `3`, ...) together with their assigned subordinate versions (`1.1`, `1.2`, ...). Clicking the row of a given subordinate version opens it in preview or edit mode – depending on the available permissions and the version status.

For one main version of a form, only one draft version can be edited at a time. Details are described in the section: **Draft (sketch/working copy) of an application item**
