# Naming an authorization policy version

Track notable updates to policies and **Trust Framework** definitions by giving them a version name. Learn more in [Version history](p1az_version_history.html).

You can name a version whether you decide to publish the version or not. You can also change the name of a version. Version naming is optional.

|   | Do not name or rename versions that begin with **API Access Management**. Instead, manage these versions by deploying the corresponding [API service](p1az_api_services.html). |

When a named version is no longer published to any endpoints, you can remove the name from the version. For example, you might remove the name from an older version after you deploy a new version that corrects errors in the older version.
