3. Select Freeze Version: this locks the existing version of the workflow and prevents further changes
4. Select the Actions dropdown menu again
5. Select New Version
6. You can now choose to Upload/Import files, or you can switch to Import Git Version for the new version
7. If needed, update the required metadata for the new workflow version
