Replacing a Previous Revision with the Latest Revision

If a newer version of an object exists, you can use the Replace By Last Revision command to revise an object within the context of a specifications folder, specification, or requirement structure. This replaces the selected previous revision of the object with the latest revision of the object in this context. Revising an object in one context does not replace a previous revision with the latest revision in any other contexts.

Required responsibilities:

  • Baseline: Leader (when the object is in the Frozen state) or Author


Before you begin: The object that you want to revise must be in one of the in work, frozen, or released states. A newer revision of the object must exist ( appears in the Revisions column).
