How to Manually Commit a Version of an Asset #
On save of an Email, Landing Page, Form, Campaign, or Program asset inside of your Eloqua platform the Asset Version Control application will track the save. If your application is running in Auto Commit mode, then the asset will be committed automatically. If the application is configured to Manual Commit mode, the user will have to commit a non-committed version of an asset.
To commit an asset:
- Click on the Non Committed tab.
- From the Action menu against a specific version select Commit.

Alternatively, the user can click the Save current version to manually commit the latest version.
Warning: Non-committed versions will expire after approximately 24 hours and will not be visible from the list. If the user chooses to commit the current version, then they can choose to do so by clicking the Save current version button.
Working with Committed Versions #
Flagging a Version #
When browsing through a list of committed versions for an asset the user can flag a specific version. This allows the user to mark a version as special in comparison to the other versions.

Rollback of Design Emails or Landing Pages #
Since Eloqua doesn’t support creating or updating the Emails and Landing Pages with Classic Design Editors anymore, the app creates a HTML Email or Landing Page when a Design Email or Landing Page is rolled back.
To roll back to a previous version click on the Rollback menu item against a specific version of the Email or Landing Page. A new Email or Landing Page is created with the naming convention based on the admin setting of a Prefix or a Postfix and the value in the field.
