What Is a Forecast Version?

A Forecast Version defines the execution context for a forecast run. It specifies the time boundaries — when the model starts training on historical data, when the forecast period begins, and when it ends.

Think of a Forecast Version as a "snapshot" of your forecast at a point in time. Each version holds its own overlays, whose blocks are tagged with Scenarios — so Base, Upside, and Downside outcomes can be compared within the same version. Each version captures a specific set of assumptions for record-keeping and auditability — create a new version for each planning cycle and leave prior ones untouched for historical comparison.

You might create a new Forecast Version each quarter (e.g., "Q2 2026 Forecast") with the overlays that express your current assumptions. Previous versions remain accessible for historical comparison.
