This article describes how to add a new version of a workflow to your Terra workspace, whether your workflow is hosted on Dockstore or in the Broad Methods Repository. 

Note for FireCloud users: You may be familiar with the "snapshots" created with each updated version. This article demonstrates how to host multiple snapshots in the same workspace. 

Option 1: Toggle between workflow versions (Dockstore hosted)

You can toggle between publicly shared versions of workflows hosted on Dockstore from your workflows page in Terra.

1. Select a workflow card.

2. If the workflow is imported from Dockstore, you'll see a drop-down menu to change between available and published (public) versions in Dockstore:
