When To Use Calculate Vs Calculate New Version

GridGap is version-aware. That means calculation actions are not just math actions; they are also storage and history actions.

What Calculate does

Calculate recalculates the version you are currently editing and replaces only that version's stored results. It is the right choice when you want to keep working on the same version and update its results in place.

What Calculate New Version does

Calculate New Version clones the currently opened version, creates a new version from it, and calculates that new version. The source version remains unchanged.

When to choose each one

Use Calculate when you are still refining the same version. Use Calculate New Version when the current version is worth preserving and you want to compare a changed variant against it later.
