    Info
    titleVersioning ISA TAB Files

    The first time you upload an ISA Tab TAB file to a new project, it is the first version of that file.

    While it is a best practice to associate only one investigation with a project, you can make changes to your investigation data, create a new ISA TAB file that reflects those changes, and then upload the new file to the original project. Each time you upload a new ISA TAB file to a project, the version number increases by one.
