Article summary

Every time you make a change to your Media Delivery site and then save it, a new site configuration version is saved in addition to previously saved versions. Versions are consistent between the user interface and the API. Once you save a version, you can no longer make any changes to it. However, you can open any version of your site and use it as a base to create a new version.


View the Version List

To view the list of saved site versions, on the Selected Version button, select the expand icon. (The Version Management button is disabled until the initial site configuration version is saved.)

A published version displays a green background, while any other version will have a white background unless it is selected. When an unpublished version is selected, it displays a blue background.


Hover over a version in the list to display the 3 dots menu.

  • To view the site configuration JSON, select JSON. The JSON format embeds the SVTA objects that define the site configuration parameters.

  • To copy the Media Delivery site configuration version ID, click the copy icon. This value might be useful to a person who is working with the Media Delivery Configuration API.

Version Information

The left side of the Media Site Info area displays the following information about the selected version:

  • Media Site Name - The user-defined Media Delivery site name.
  • CNAME - The CNAME value is needed to link your website to the CDN site. In order to direct traffic from your website to the CDN site, you update your domain's DNS settings with the CNAME of the Media Delivery site configuration. (Alternatively, use HTTP routing.)
  • Published Version - The published version, if there is one. 
  • Selected Version -  The currently selected version, along with the name of the user who saved the version and a summary of the updates. Selected Version only appears after the first time you save a site version. 

Create a New Version

Because site configuration versions are immutable, to update the configuration, you'll have to create a new site configuration version. You create a new version of a site based on an existing version. 

To do so:

  1.  Select the saved version on which you want to base the new version.
  2.  Make the desired changes or additions to the site configuration. (You are not modifying the saved version - you are modifying a copy of the version.) 
  3.  Click Save as New Version to save your updates as a new site configuration version.
