Object Versions.
To revise an object:
1. Select > from the information page of an object or from the Folder Contents table for product and library contexts.
2. The
Revise window opens, displaying the
Object List table. Use this table to collect objects related to the selected object and revise those objects as well. For more information, see
About the Collector.
3. The New Revision column updates to the next revision level.
The New Revision column may be editable, allowing you to skip a revision level (for example, go from A to C). To skip a revision level:
◦ Enter a revision label under the New Revision column. Enter the revision, not the full version identifier. For example, enter D, not D.3.
or
◦ Select the checkboxes next to one or more objects and click the set revision icon

4. If the new revision should reside in a different folder location than preceding revisions, modify the Location column.
| If you modify the location, only the new revision resides in the new location. Previous revisions and iterations will remain in the original location. |
