Creating a new data model version

Versions can be added to models as your organization supports changes to a model. When feature datasets are included in the schema file, the feature classes within the dataset are included as part of the data model version.

1. Start ArcMap.
2. If necessary, open the Product Library window by clicking Customize > Production > Product Library on the main menu.

   A tree view of the product library appears.
3. Right-click the Product Library icon and click Properties.

   The Product Library Properties dialog box appears.
4. Click the cell next to Set Tool Options.
