After you click Publish on the Draft Editor page in the console of fully managed Flink to publish a job, the system automatically generates a new version for the job. When you edit a job, you can compare the current version with an earlier version. After you compare the versions, you can determine whether to roll back the current job information to the earlier version.

    After the version is locked, a message that indicates the version is locked appears in the upper part of the page, and the Lock icon is displayed next to the version.
    Note If you want to delete a locked version, you must first unlock the version. To unlock the version, choose More > Unlock in the Actions column.
