Editing Version Details

- Navigate to the target API, and click the version whose details you are changing.
- Click Edit Details, and change the content in the following fields:
In 4.26, to change a Snaplex for an API Version, you must create a new version, update the Snaplex, and then publish a new version of the API. Clicking Edit Details from the API > Versions page displays the Server field for selecting another Snaplex, but the field is disabled. |
Generating the Specification for your API
You can preserve the API specification used in the version in the published Developer Portal. Clicking Generate Specification enables the API consumer to examine its contents in the Open API Specification format when viewing the documentation for an API on the Developer Portal.
