# Secret versioning

Versioning allows you to store multiple versions of a secret for secret rotation without interrupting your service operations.

If a secret has versions, one of them is the current one – it is displayed in the [list of versions](#view-versions) with the `Active` tag. You can [make a version current from the list of versions](#make-version-current) or when [adding a new version](#add-version).

You cannot delete a secret version; you can only [delete the secret](/secrets-manager/secrets/delete-secret.mdx) with all of its versions.
