Overview
This article explains how finding versions work in Hyver — especially in engagements with recurring assessments (e.g., monthly scans or testing cycles).
Hyver automatically tracks changes to findings over time, creating new versions when meaningful differences are detected. This ensures visibility into how issues evolve — without duplicating unchanged data.
How versions are created
In repeated assessments, findings that haven't been closed (i.e., fixed) will be detected again.
However, a new version is created only if something has changed in the finding's data.
A new version is created if:
Severity, description, or supporting evidence changes
The finding affects the same remediation asset but has updated attributes
Any attribute used in risk calculation or decision-making is updated
A new version is not created if:
The same finding is detected again with no differences
Viewing and editing versions
The latest version is always shown by default in the Findings list
You can view previous versions of a finding from the details pane
You can only edit the most recent version
Fields that stay the same across all versions
These attributes are shared by all versions and cannot be changed individually:
Name
Status (including customer-defined statuses)
Security Domain
Priority
ID
Type
Probability
Edges
Permissions & Engagement
List of remediation assets
Customer inputs:
Tags
Owner
Cost and Effort
Remediation Date
Fields that can differ between versions
Each version can have unique values for fields such as:
Severity
Description
Supporting evidence
Mitigation recommendations
Version-specific metadata
Example
If your first assessment detects 50 findings, and your team closes 20, the second assessment might create 30 new versions of the remaining unresolved findings — but only if they changed. New findings from the second assessment will be added alongside these updated versions.
Wrap-up / Next Steps
Finding versions help track change over time without cluttering your dashboard. Use them to see how issues progress — and focus only on what’s changed.
