Introduced in Feature Pack 2

Creating versions of categories

You can create versions of a category. For example, before you make any changes to a category description for an event, you might want to create a version. After the event is over, you can restore a previous version.

When you create a version, the version is based on the latest changes in the category. If you modify the category, the version remains unchanged.
