Saving, reorganizing, versioning

Saving

A save edits the sequence in place; it does not create a copy. While the sequence is a draft it saves itself. Once validated, saving becomes explicit again, with Command + S or the button that appears.

Saving a validated sequence clears the validation: the plan returns to draft and must be validated again. That is deliberate, since an edit withdraws the verdict you gave on the previous version.

If the plan already carries a patient status, an explicit warning precedes the save: the patient is looking at this document.

Reorganizing

A reorganization keeps the procedures and reworks their arrangement: order, grouping, durations and delays. It runs into a Modified variant you watch fill in, then you choose: replace, keep both, or discard.

Modifying the treatment plan

When the procedures themselves change, the plan is what needs revisiting. On a draft with no completed appointment, the plan is replaced in place. On a plan already under way, Aria goes through an amendment: completed appointments are frozen and untouchable, the rest can be reorganized freely.

Variants

A variant is another version of the same clinical plan: with or without an implant, in two phases or one. Create one from the Sequence tab chevron, and rename it so it carries its difference rather than a number.

A plan has only one living variant on the patient side. If you accept a variant while another was already accepted, Aria asks you to confirm before setting the previous one aside.

Going back

Command + Z and Command + Shift + Z walk your edits. A separate button restores the version exactly as it was generated, which stays available as long as that version exists.
