# Versions

Version records track changes to a customized record over time so that administrators can compare or revert to specific versions later.

Administrators can also transfer versions between instances with Update Sets or team development.

-   **[Version record navigation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/c_NavigatingVersionRecords.md)**  
There are a variety of methods for viewing a list of versions for an object.
-   **[Versions transferring](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/c_TransferringVersions.md)**  
Administrators transfer version records between instances by moving customizations with Update Sets or the Team Development application.
-   **[Version records](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/r_VersionRecords.md)**  
The Update Versions `[sys_update_version]` table contains records that represent the state of a customizable object at a particular time.
-   **[Compare to the current version](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_CompareToCurrentVersion.md)**  
You can compare a version to the current version for any customizable object that a user has modified, such as a form layout or business rule. You can also compare the local and current pulled version of an object in Team Development. Administrators can suppress versions for specific tables.
-   **[Revert a change](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_RevertAChange.md)**  
You can undo changes to a customized record by reverting to an older version.
-   **[Suppress versions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/team-development/t_SuppressVersions.md)**  
Administrators can configure a table so that it does not track customizations in the Versions `[sys_update_version]` table.
