.. _act_newversion: ****************************************************** How to Create a New Version for a Published Deposition ****************************************************** .. note:: Before going through this document, make sure you know how to create an instance of the ``_DepositionActions`` class, **depo_act_obj**, by reviewing the :ref:`actions_howtos` guide. We start with a published deposition (ID = 1097408) in the Zenodo Sandbox account. A new version of the deposition can be created from either **published** or **draft** states. In the former case, once you click on the deposition title .. figure:: ../../images/howtos/act_edit_1.png :align: center :alt: An already published mock deposition in a Zenodo account you will be navigated to the content page where you can find the green **New version** button on the top-right corner of the screen. .. figure:: ../../images/howtos/act_edit_2.png :align: center :alt: The content page of an already published mock deposition in a Zenodo account If the deposition is in the **draft** state, clicking on its title will redirect you to the deposition form page .. figure:: ../../images/howtos/act_discard.png :align: center :alt: The form page of a draft deposition where you can find the green **New version** button at the center of the **Files** section of the form . Regardless of the deposition state, ``zenopy`` allows you to create a new version for your record programmatically by by calling the ``deposition_action()`` function on an instance of the ``_DepositionActions`` class and passing ``action = 'newversion'`` as an argument >>> my_depo = depo_act_obj.deposition_action(id_=1097408, action='newversion') >>> my_depo Now, we can inspect the contents of the new version of the record stored in the **my_repo** variable >>> my_depo.data Output exceeds the size limit.

For other changes such as changing metadata, you should edit and publish the same deposition version. .. important:: When a new version of an existing deposition is created, a new DOI will also be assigned to it. .. seealso:: - :ref:`actions_howtos` - :ref:`act_edit` - :ref:`act_discard` - :ref:`act_publish` - :ref:`deposition_howtos`
