Available configurations
When you use Version Management, you can edit various configurations, such as WAF custom rules and Cache.
Generally, you are allowed to edit all zone-level configurations except for the following:
- DNS
 - Spectrum
 - Traffic (Load Balancing, Waiting Rooms, Health Checks, and more)
 - Zero Trust and Access policies
 - SSL certificates (though you can test these with a separate staging certificates feature)
 
Version Management does not currently support or have limited support for the following products or features:
API Shield
 - Some API Shield configurations are not cloned when a new zone version is created.
 - Customers are allowed to opt-in to remove the UI block that prevents enabling Version Management.
 
Authenticated Origin Pull
 - Authenticated Origin Pull does not work with Zone Versioning.
 - Accessing your domain from an allowlisted IP returns a Cloudflare 520 error.
 
Cache
 - Cache Reserve is intended for production use only.
 - Purging the production environment purges all environments.
 
Cache Rules when used with Cloudflare Images
 - Image Resizing does not work with the 
additional_cacheable_portsCache Rule setting and Zone Versioning. - If you use 
additional_cacheable_portswith Image Resizing, the image will be resized every time it is requested and will result in low performance. 
Workers Cache API
 - Workers Cache API does not work with Version Management.
 - If you use the Workers Cache API with Zone Versioning, you might encounter unexpected caching behaviours.
 
China Network
 - Regardless of the version deployed to production, traffic in China will always target the root zone.
 - Other incompatibility issues with Access and ICP licenses.
 
Cloudflare API
 - Zone Version Management does not currently expose a public API.
 - Customers can only use Version Management through the Cloudflare dashboard ↗.
 
Domain-scoped Roles
 - Domain-scoped Roles apply only to your root zone.
 - Once a new version is created, these roles do not copy over and they lose access to versions.
 
Image Transformations
 - Changes made to Image Transformations are not cloned when a new zone version is created.
 
Network Error Logging
 - Network Error Logging configurations are not cloned when a new version is created.
 
Page Shield
 - Page Shield is not available for versioning and is only configurable under your Global Configuration.
 
Security Insights
 - Security Insights are not shown when Zone Versioning is enabled and the first version is deployed to production.
 
Terraform
 - Zone Version Management does not currently support Terraform.
 - Customers should either use Terraform or Version Management.
 
WAF Attack Score
 - WAF Attack Score configurations are not cloned when a new zone version is created.
 
Waiting Room
 - Waiting Room users active on the site may be placed back in the queue.
 - Waiting Room users in the queue may lose their place in line.

 - If a version has a Worker route, it might disappear when a Worker is deployed via Wrangler.
 - If two versions have the same custom domains, the Worker might randomly choose between them.
