A version is a read-only snapshot of a document. ProjectWise Explorer and ProjectWise Web / ProjectWise 365 users can create a version of a document when they want to capture the state or progress of a document at a certain point in time.

A single document may have multiple versions, with one document being the active version of the document, and the rest being non-active versions (or simply, versions). The active version is the original document that users continue working on until the document is complete.

As long as you have File Read permission on a document, you can view or download the document whether it is the active version or a non-active version.

The document icon for the active version of a document is just the normal document icon for whatever application is associated to the document. To indicate that a document is a non-active version, a special, smaller icon appears on the lower right corner of the document icon, like this:

Note that this smaller icon is also the same icon that indicates if you do not have File Read permission on a document. Do not assume, just because you see this icon, that you cannot view or download the version. You should be able to view or download the version, as long as you have File Read permission on the version.
