Change the version status of a product file

You can specify an obsolescence status for your product files to indicate the stage of life of each product. Maintaining this information enables us to accurately recommend the latest version of your product files to customers who submit your products to FACT.

You will likely want to revisit the status setting for each product every release cycle. Changing the status of a product file can affect its score.

All products submitted to FACT are marked as Unknown by default.

You can set the status for a single product file or multiple product files at once. See Bulk edit product files for details.
