As part of automation, i need to version the subject scheme files in SDL. Do you have an API to create a "new version" of the file?

Question

I want to automate the manual process of versioning the subject scheme file ie., 
 We right click the required subject scheme file, create a new version (change the status from New to Draft here) and check out the file, make the required changes in the file, and check it back in (change the status from Draft to Released here). 
 
 Can you please point me to an API to perform this job?

Hi, You can create a new version through the API using the 'Create' method in the DocumentObj25 class. There is no specific 'NewVersion' API call available. Please verify the arguments/options which are available for the 'Create' method on the following page in our documentation portal: 
 https://docs.sdl.com/796504/345355/sdl-tridion-docs-14-sp2/documentobj-2-5-create 
 This documentation includes options to automatically create a 'new' version using keyword values and how to supply the content for the new version of the object. The blob is not automatically copied over by the API call but the API call has an argument allowing you to provide the new version of the blob. 
 I hope this helps, 
 Kind Regards,
