  8. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Click Save Draft. Schema Designer saves the schema as a draft.

      Note: If you save the schema as a draft, you make changes without applying them. The schema displays in the schema type table and not in circulation. You can't use the draft to create an asset until you save the new version.

    • Click Save new version. Schema Designer saves your schema as a new version.

    Note: If you add elements or attributes to an existing schema and want them to display in existing assets associated with the schema, see Schema Synchronization for details.
