# Saving a previous feature flag version to a new version
<a name="appconfig-creating-configuration-profile-feature-flags-editing-version"></a>

When you update a feature flag, Amazon AppConfig automatically saves your changes to a new version. If you want to use a previous feature flag version, you must copy it to a draft version and then save it. You can't edit and save changes to a previous flag version without saving it to a new version.
