The version can be checked in the name of the zip file for the model data. The file name is in the following format.

Check whether the conditions for adding model data are met.
When all the following conditions are met, model data can be added to the installed Device Settings Configurator.
The <target region> in the file name match the target region of the installed Device Settings Configurator
The <version of model data> in the file name is newer than the model data version checked in step 1 or has not been added to the installed Device Settings Configurator

The process for adding the model data is executed. It may take some time for the process to finish.
