After making changes to an object in InfoWorks WS Pro, you are notified of any uncommitted (unsaved) changes. You can also see details of different object versions, view differences between two versions, and branch an earlier version to address mistakes in a later one.
Notice that in the Model Group window, both BridgeNet and BridgeCon have a red circle with an exclamation mark (!). This symbol indicates that both networks have uncommitted changes.
To commit changes to the network:
To review a list of differences between two versions of the network:

Note: Conflicts may arise if more than one user commits a change of the same description to the same object in the same database. For example, one user may change the depth of a reservoir, and then another user may attempt to change it to a different depth. When this happens, InfoWorks WS Pro prompts you to resolve the conflict by right-clicking on the BridgeNet network or control and clicking Resolve conflicts. This provides a description of who made the change and when, with options to keep or to overwrite the change.
