Determine the BrightWork Build Number
To assist BrightWork Support, it may be necessary to determine the BrightWork Version number.
The BrightWork Version number (e.g. 16.2.0190.0) uses an aa:b:cccc:d construction.
- aa is the version of Microsoft Office (see Note 1 below)
- b is the version of the BrightWork release (see Note 2 below)
- cccc is the build number of the release
- d is the slip release number
To determine the BrightWork version number:
- Navigate to the Site Collection home page.
- Click Settings
| Site Settings. - Click BrightWork Settings.
The BrightWork Version number will be displayed at the top of the page.
Note 1:
With SharePoint 2019 the Microsoft Office version remained at '16'. Therefore the following convention was adopted for BrightWork versioning:
- SharePoint 2013: used 15 as the aa part of the version
- SharePoint 2016: uses 16 as the aa part of the version
- SharePoint 2019: uses 19 as the aa part of the version
-
SharePoint Subscription Edition: uses 24 or SE as the aa part of the version.
The internal version number used is 24 (for the year BrightWork first shipped for SharePoint Subscription Edition). However, for clearer readability SE is used in the Help and elsewhere when possible.
Note 2:
Since 15.7 the b part of the version number has been the same for BrightWork releases on SharePoint 2013 and SharePoint 2016.
Since 15.11 this is true for releases on SharePoint 2019. It is true of SharePoint Subscription Edition from the start i.e. SE.26.1 also known as 24.26.1.
