Draft vs Version ?



Draft Save

A draft save is a quick and easy interim save, that does not require log on credentials. No history is retained for draft saves. A draft is a working copy of a record. Only one draft can exist per record, so if you draft save twice in a row, the second draft overwrites the first.


Version Save

A version save is a more formal process, that creates an authenticated version of a record. When saving as a version, you must provide a save reason and your log on credentials (i.e. your e-signature). The e-signature required for a version save complies with 21 CFR Part 11, as well as assisting in the protection of IP by adding a date and time stamp to the record.


Versions History

For any given record in the E-WorkBook ELN, you can view the complete history of version saves.
Once you are in the Version history view, you can choose to restore specific versions of the record or download different versions of the record's documents.
