# CreateBotVersion
<a name="API_CreateBotVersion"></a>

Creates an immutable version of the bot. When you create the first version of a bot, Amazon Lex sets the version number to 1. Subsequent bot versions increase in an increment of 1. The version number will always represent the total number of versions created of the bot, not the current number of versions. If a bot version is deleted, that bot version number will not be reused.
