Every time you modify and save a pattern, you create a version of this pattern.
Choose which pattern version Service Mapping and Discovery use for
discovery.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

By default, the latest version is used for discovery, but you can choose any other
version to use.

If necessary, you can [compare pattern versions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/eT0yhsgKHprwp9sl4HJ1lg "If you have multiple versions of the same pattern, you can compare them to decide which pattern version to use for discovery.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllPattern DesignerDiscovery Patterns.
2. Click the required pattern.  
   The form for this pattern opens.
3. Click the Pattern tab.
4. Scroll down to the Versions section.  
   The state of the active pattern version that Service Mapping and Discovery use is Current.
5. Click the version you want to use.
6. Click Revert to this version under Related Links.  

   <br />

   This pattern version becomes the active version that Service Mapping and Discovery use. Its state changes to Current. {#t_ChoosePatternVersionPatDef__cmd_RevertToThisVersion_6643}
