Bot Version

A Bot Version in Salesforce Einstein Bots represents a specific iteration of a bot's configuration. Each time changes are made to a bot's dialogs, settings, or actions, they are saved as part of the current version. Administrators can activate a version to make it live, deactivate it, or create new versions while preserving previous configurations. Only one version of a bot can be active at a time.

Bot Version is the unit of configuration management for Einstein Bots. Each version is a snapshot of the bot's dialogs, actions, variables, intents, and other settings. Admins can create new versions from existing ones, which lets them make changes to a non-active version without affecting the bot that's currently running in production. Only one version of a bot can be active at a time, so activation is the deliberate step of saying 'this is the version users interact with now'.

Versioning supports a safer development pattern: clone the active version into a new version, make and test changes in the new version, then activate the new version when ready. The previous version is deactivated but preserved, so rolling back means simply activating the earlier version again. This is particularly valuable for bots because conversation logic is complex and mistakes are hard to predict until users start hitting them, and rollback is the fastest fix when a new version causes problems.
