Onshape version?

Is it possible to find out what is the current version of Onshape software that I'm using at any given moment?

This is basically just idle curiosity but this was prompted by a change or two in behaviour that I noticed.

Not 100% sure about this but previous creating a plane of a surface of a part 'isolated' anything sketched on that plane, now it looks like the features of that surface are included in the sketch in some shape or form.

Also today, which really prompted this question:
I exported a STEP file which previously when imported to Altium PCB CAD lost all the colors I have in Onshape now shows the colors in Altium.

So I was wondering if this is actually a change in software version in Onshape and thus a bug fix or if I've done something that now makes the colors work...?

    Click the help menu in the top right and then About.  You'll see that we are currently on release 1.180.  

    The software updates roughly every 3 weeks:
    https://www.onshape.com/en/changelog/

    "Disable imprinting" was added in 2021.

    Not sure about the colors.

    Look at the very bottom of the documents list page.

    Love the Change log and that you can search the history of updates and fixes, because it's honestly challenging to keep up sometimes, but by no means I'm asking for Onshape to slow-down  ;)

    What I'm unaware of is how to correlate the Onshape version (e.g. 1.180....) with the FeatureScript version (e.g. "FeatureScript 2345;") shown with the "show code" right-click on a part studio. When a document might not have been updated, the FeatureScript version is the clearest way I know to check. I sometimes end up creating a new document, checking the "show code" and then using that FeatureScript number to judge if another document hasn't been updated.

    There must be another way, or at least there should. Could the change log show the FeatureScript version associated with the Onshape version? Is this always a one-to-one relation?

    There also should be a better way than trashing and restoring documents to force an update.

    @S1mon wait, what??
    You can force an update by Trashing and then Restoring a document?
    Wow - I really do learn something every day.

    Yep. I learned that from a post from @NeilCooke.

    Yes very old trick however please note, if you are part of an Enterprise and lack the permissions to see the trash, it could be very uncomfortable if you go to the trash and cannot see the doc you moved there for the purposes of upgrade.
