# Identify your version
Before using a new [Coveo JavaScript Search Framework](https://docs.coveo.com/en/187/) component or feature in a search interface, you should typically ensure that the JavaScript Search Framework version on which that search interface relies supports that new component or feature.

This article provides two methods of identifying the JavaScript Search Framework version used in a Coveo-powered product.

> **Note**
>
> If you're using Coveo for Salesforce, see the [Release notes](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1073/).

## Method 1: From a search interface

. Access the search interface using your preferred web browser (for example, Chrome).
. Open your web browser developer tools console (for example, in Chrome, select Ctrl+Shift+J [Windows/Linux], or Command+Option+J [Mac]).
. Select the **Console** tab.
. In the console prompt, type `Coveo.version`, then select Enter.

This returns an object similar to:

```json
{
  "lib": "2.4710.8",
  "product": "2.4710.8",
  "supportedApiVersion: 2
}
```

> **Note**
>
> In the `lib` and `product` values above, `2` is the _major_ version, `4710` is the _minor_ version, and `8` is the _hotfix_ version.

. Optionally, find the release notes corresponding to the retrieved `product` value (see [JavaScript Search Release Notes](https://docs.coveo.com/en/o1aj0225/)).

## Method 2: From the distribution files

For an administrator or a developer, when you have access to the `CoveoJsSearch.zip` distribution file or to the folder containing the Coveo JavaScript Search Framework:

. Using a text editor, open the `\[JsSearch\_Installation\_Path\]/js/CoveoSearch.js` file.
. Toward the beginning of the file, locate the `Coveo.version` function, and note the `product` value.


**Example**

[,javascript]
```
// ...
(function (Coveo) {
  Coveo.version = {
    "lib" : "1.0.3.23",
    "product": "1.0.20.0",
    "supportedApiVersion": 2
  };
// ...
```
