How do I save a new version of an assembly?

This may sound basic, but I'm using a master model to drive child parts using "copy goemetry" in the child parts to copy "published geometry" from the parent model. These child parts are then assembled into and assembly, which is in turn assembled into a larger assembly. In this larger assembly are a bunch of steel plates that are driven by a family table. In these plates there is a copy geom feature that is copying published geometry from the master model which is used to trim the plates.

 

I now want to create another version of this whole assembly. Lets say I have Assembly version "A", and now I want Assembly version "B". All the child parts want to now be version "B's" referencing a new master model version "B". The steel plates also want to become "B's" and all family table members want to use the new "B" master model for their copy geom references. I have tried this once already and used new names in the Save a Copy of the main assembly dialog, but no new references to the "B" master model were made. Also, all instances of the family table were turned into unique parts that were no longer part of a family table.

 

How do I save versions that maintain the references I want?
