About competency versions
Depending on your settings, competency elements may have a Ready for Versioning property that you can enable to let the system track a previous definition of a competency each time you save your changes. Beginning with Version 1, Version numbers increment by 1. Competency version information can show every element in the competency structure except activities.
You cannot edit previous competency versions; however, your organization may track competency versions to review past changes to a competency structure's definition.
