### Schema Objects Versioning&#x20;

The 'version' attribute in the search request represents the schema object version of the object being sent. It indicates the specific version of the object that is included in the search request. For example, the following request SearchRequestObject in the data attribute and version attribute to indicate SearchRequestObject's version.
