Next Steps

You can add multiple major versions of a custom widget to analytics designer.

Every custom widget has a version number in the format majorVersion.minorVersion.patchVersion, for example, 1.0.0. You can add custom widgets with different major versions side-by-side to analytics designer, for example, versions 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 of a custom widget.

When you add a custom widget that differs in the minor version with one present in analytics designer, then the added version replaces the present version. For example, if a custom widget of version 1.5.0 is present in analytics designer, then adding either version 1.4.0 or 1.6.0 replaces version 1.5.0.
