Revise
Creates a new revision of a part, for example, A.5 to B.1.

Opens a window where you modify the attributes common to all iterations of a part.

Opens a window where you rename the selected part. The name change applies to all versions of the part, not just the selected version.

New View Version
Opens a window where you create a new version of a part with a different downstream view.
New One Off Version
Creates a new one-off version of the part. A one-off version is a branch version taken from any version within the normal version sequence (for example, A, B, C). A one-off version is labeled with the version from which it is created, followed by a dash and number, such as B-1.
A one-off version is used to record a unique modification to a released design. It is intended to support the modification of parts that have been recorded in a configuration, used to create an instance, and then modified. The fact that a part has been altered must be recorded in the system, so a one-off version of the altered part is created.
Duplicate
Saves the selected part as a new part.
For more information see, Saving a Part as a New Part.
