Enables you to assign and manage revisions to a group of documents that you select.

Activity

Allows you to select one of the following revision activities:

Add revision

Adds a new revision to the selected documents in accordance with the value you specify in the Revision number field in the Settings group box. The software determines which revision method suits best the value that you typed in the Revision number field and adjusts the revision method accordingly. If the revision number value that you are adding conforms with method of the last existing revision, the software will continue to number the new revision accordingly. If the software cannot determine a suitable revision method for the typed value, the revision method will switch to Other.

If you do not enter a value in the Revision number field, the software displays an error message.

Upgrade revision

Adds a new revision by raising the last revision number of all the selected documents. The software identifies the revision numbering method of each document (P0, P1, P2; 0,1,2, A,B,C, and so forth) and raises the revision number to the next value according to the existing revision method. You cannot change the revision method but you can update all the other settings by entering new settings.

Delete last revision

Deletes the last revision of all the selected documents.

Delete all revisions

Deletes all the revisions of all the selected documents.

Re-archive last revision

Re-archives changes made to the selected documents under their last archived revision. In this case, the software does not create a new revision and preserves the existing revision method for each document.

Revision method for items without revisions

Allows you to select a revision method for documents without revisions. This option is available only after selecting Upgrade revision from the Activity list.
