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. Versions are immutable. 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:
- Navigate to the My Media Sites page and select the site.
- In the Media Site Configuration page, select Versions & History.
- Select the Versions List tab.
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.
Learn about the Site Configuration JSON. - 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.
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:
- In the Versions list, select the saved version on which you want to base the new version.
- 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.)
- Click Save as New Version to save your updates as a new site configuration version.
Compare Versions
You can compare any two site configuration versions, side-by-side.
To do so:
- In the Versions List, choose Compare Versions.
- In the Version Comparison dialog, select the site configuration versions. The configuration JSON for each version is displayed side-by-side.
- If a configuration object was modified, the old version of the object is highlighted in red and the new version is highlighted in green.
- New configuration objects are highlighted in green.
- Deleted configuration objects are highlighted in red.
