Creating a Revision

The New Revision command allows you to capture a particular derivation of an object during its lifecycle.

Before you begin:
  • Select all connected objects together to duplicate the connections and move them to the new objects. Otherwise, the new objects will remain connected to the initial object.
  • By default, you can create a new revision from any revision. Administrators can modify this behavior and allow the creation of revisions from the latest revision only.
  1. Select the objects you want to revise, and click the command.

    The New Revision dialog box appears. All the content to be revised is be displayed as well as all required content automatically added to the scope (for example, the representation of a 3D part).

    When the New Revision dialog box appears, the colored arrows in the first column let you know if the object is the last revision or not:

    • A green arrow indicates that the object and its required content are the last revision of the object.
    • A yellow arrow indicates that the object and its required content are not the last revision and the New revision from any revision option is selected.
    • A red arrow indicates that the selection and its required content are not the last revision, and the New revision from any revision option is cleared.

  2. Click OK to create the new revision.
    The new revision is created, and a confirmation message appears. No further save action is required.

    Depending on the type of the initial tab, a new Navigation tab, a new Authoring tab or a new Search Result appears with the new revisions. Multiple tabs can be displayed if unconnected objects were initially selected.
