+===== Business space version =====
+To help manage changes made to a [[glossary:business_space|business space]] //**[[glossary:aware_im]]**// has a built-in version control mechanism. It allows making and testing changes to a business space without affecting the normal operation of the system. To make changes to a business space [[glossary:configurator|the configurator]] creates a new version of the business space and makes the changes in that version. Then the modified version can be put [[glossary:testing_mode|under test]] to verify that the changes work as expected. After that the new version can be [[glossary:publish|published]], i.e. made operational. The state of a newly created version is ‘New’, state of a version being tested is ‘Under Test’, the operational version, i.e. the one used in the [[glossary:operation_mode|operation mode]] has state 'Current', the state of the former operational version is 'Obsolete'.
+All the configuration work for a business space is done in a version of that business space. The configuration information of a business space version can be exported into or imported from a file, which makes configuration information portable between different //**Aware IM**// installations. In particular it allows people to prepare [[glossary:configuration_template|configuration templates]] for others to use.
