When is a new version of a published process model available?

A new version of a published process model becomes available as soon as the next process starts. This indicates that the updated model is not retroactive to any instances that are in progress at the time of publishing. Instead, the newly published version will be utilized for any forthcoming instances initiated after the publication.

This timeline ensures that the system maintains stability for any active processes, allowing them to finish under the rules of the version they were started on. Only when a new process instance is initiated will it adopt the latest design and any changes that were made during the publishing of the process model. Understanding this concept is crucial for effectively managing process updates and ensuring consistency in process execution.
