Why do I not get an update icon in the assembly when I changed a part from V6 to V7?

Why do I not get an update icon in the assembly when I changed a part from V6 to V7?

The V7 does not contain any changes. 

I am aware that it does not make sense. I wanted to use it to update the drawing for another problem.

    This is intended. If no changes have been made to a tab (Part Studio) then it will not flag as out of date. Imagine if you have a library doc with 100 different Part Studios / Parts and you make a change to one of them, you wouldn't want the other 99 flagged as out of date.

    Not sure what's actually happening to you, but I often notice a lag in the update icons showing up. It's still possible to update the instance.

    @NeilCooke

    What constitutes a "change" in this case? Geometry, properties, derived part updates, or FeatureScript updates?

    Anything that flags it as "dirty" - if the PS was regenerated due to a change to a derived feature or a metadata change occurs that should all count.

    Master question:
    we have onshape professional.
    If I changed the surface of the configurations in V6. How can I update this change on the drawing? The update button is not active because there is no new version ...

    "surface of the configurations"? 

    If the drawing is of a version of a part (recommended) then a new version is required to trigger the update. If it is of a workspace part, sometimes a metadata change does not trigger the drawing update (so I sometimes force the update by editing a feature and changing a value to something new and then change it back again).
