Object Versions
Every object in Windchill has a version, for example:
A version consists of a letter followed by a separator such as a period (.), followed by a number.
• The number represents the iteration of the object. The iteration is incremented each time the object is checked in.
• The letter represents the revision of the object. Use the Revise action to change the object revision. For more information, see Revising an Object.
When revising objects, a revision scheme represents a sequence of characters identifying subsequent versions of a revisable object. Your site might establish a revision scheme policy that is unique for your site. When you revise an object, the latest iteration of that object is used as the content for the new revision.
* 
The Revise action is only available for objects within products or libraries.
