When you modify a model in the Model Editor, you can save the modifications and make them available to users right away, or if you have many changes to make, or a specific roll-out date, you can save a draft until you are ready to make your changes public.

Caution: Modifying a model may break reports attached to it. See Managing Model Breaking Changes for more information.

To save changes and make them public

Follow these steps to publish your changes so that report creators can use the updated model.

To save a draft of your changes

Follow these steps to save a working draft that you can return to later, without releasing the changes to report creators. ActiveReports 8 Server automatically saves a draft while you are working, but you can save the draft any time.
