Elastic version 6.2
Referring article : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/indices-templates.html)
When we add version to template, can we find what version of template the index uses when we define a index using the template? If not, do we have any specific purpose of this version ? Ex. CHange Log etc.
