# 2025-12-08: VSM - Version Management and Import/Export

## Overview

We’ve enhanced the Value Stream Modeller (VSM) experience to give business users more control over their value streams without needing the support from technical tools or teams.

You can now:

* Switch back to older value streams versions and continue working from them as a new version.
* Export a value stream from one tenant and import it into another directly from VSM.

This makes it easier to reuse best-practice value streams, maintain governance across tenants, and quickly recover or branch from previous versions—all within the VSM interface.
