• Key Concepts: 
  Variants are a feature of the SAP Legal Content Management (LCM) component that allow users to create multiple versions of a document. Variants can be used to store different versions of a document, such as different language versions or different versions for different countries. Variants can also be used to store different versions of a document that have been modified for different purposes, such as for internal or external use. 
  
  How to Use It: 
  Variants can be created in the SAP LCM component by selecting the “Create Variant” option from the menu. This will open a dialog box where users can enter the variant name and description. Once the variant is created, users can then select the variant from the list and make any necessary changes to the document. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating variants, it is important to give each variant a descriptive name so that it is easy to identify later on. It is also important to keep track of which version of the document is stored in each variant, as this will help ensure that the correct version is used when needed.
