Incrementing Revisions for Checked Out Files

A file that reaches a certain state (for example, an assembly is approved for manufacturing) can be assigned a new revision number. You also increment the revision number manually when you check a file into the vault.

Before you begin: To increment revisions manually, you must have appropriate permissions.
