Tie design - share new version (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iteration

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'new version' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'tie design share' is the wordplay.
'design' indicates anagramming the letters.
'share' becomes 'ration' (a ration is a share of a limited resource).
'tie' anagrammed gives 'ite'.
'ite'+'ration'='ITERATION'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for iteration that I've seen before include "Repeated performing" , "Reprise" , "Repeats" , "Repeating" , "Repetition" .)
