## Key takeaways

- Publishing a rubric makes a new numbered version that never changes. Each screening records the version it used.
- Versions in a rubric's page lists every version with who published it, the note and what changed.
- Run again on the Fit tab makes a new screening with the latest facts. It never changes an earlier run.
- Run history shows every screening of the deal, which one is current, and any that failed.

Your thesis changes over time, and your records should show what it was when each deal was screened. Delsivo keeps every published version of a rubric as it was, and every screening keeps the version it used.

## Rubric versions

On a rubric's page in **Settings → Thesis and rubrics**, click **Versions**. The side sheet lists every version, newest first:

- **Version 4** with **Live**, **Earlier** or **Draft**
- how many screenings used it
- **Published** and the date, with who published it, or **Started** for a draft
- the **Note for your team**, if one was added
- **Changes from version 3**, such as "Preference: Early revenue traction (weight 6 → 8)" or "Hard rule: Geography" added. The first version lists what it contained.

Published versions can't be edited or deleted. The Core seed rubric's first version shows as published by Delsivo. To change a rubric, start a new draft with **Edit rubric** and publish it. See [Build your thesis rubric](/help/thesis-and-screening/build-your-thesis-rubric).

## What publishing changes

| | After you publish version 4 |
|---|---|
| New decks | Screened with version 4, if this is the default rubric |
| **Run again** on a deal | Uses version 4 |
| Screenings already done | Keep the version they used. Nothing is re-screened on its own |
| Archived rubric | Its past screenings keep their version. It can't be used for new ones |

## Run a screening again

On a deal's **Fit** tab, the panel **Screen against your thesis** has **Run again** (or **Run screening** before the first one). If your fund has more than one published rubric, choose the **Rubric** first; the default is selected and marked **(default)**.

Run again after something changed, for example:

- you published a new rubric version
- the founder corrected a fact
- claims were checked and relabelled, which affects evidence quality

You see **Screening started. The fit report updates when it finishes.** If one is already running for the deal, you see **A screening is already running for this deal.** and no second run starts. Each run uses the rubric's live version and the facts on file at that moment.

Only people who can edit the deal see the panel: Admins, Partners and the Analyst who owns the deal.

## Run history

**Run history** on the **Fit** tab lists the deal's screenings, newest first. Each shows the rubric and version, such as **Core seed rubric · v2**, and a status:

| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **Current** | The run the fit report shows |
| **Earlier run** | A newer run replaced it. It is kept as it was |
| **Running** | Queued or in progress |
| **Failed** | It didn't finish. Hover over it for the reason |

Under each you see the date and time and who started it, or **after the deck was read** for an automatic run. Finished runs show their thesis fit and how many overrides they have.

If the latest run failed, the **Fit** tab says so above the report, and the report below is from the run before it. Click **Run again** to retry.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I see the full report of an earlier run?
Not yet. Run history shows each earlier run's rubric version, date, thesis fit and override count. The full report is shown for the current run.

### Why didn't my deals change when I published a new version?
Published versions apply to new screenings only, so that past results stay as they were. Run a deal again to screen it with the new version.

### Can two people run a screening at the same time?
Only one screening runs per deal at a time. A second click while one is running doesn't start another.
