You can create a new revision for an object by assigning the next revision level available in a revision scheme. The revision scheme represents a sequence of characters identifying subsequent versions of a revisable object. Creating a new revision of an object results in the object, and all objects you choose to associate with it, to increment to the set revision level when the revision operation completes. When you revise an object, the latest version of that object is used as the content for the new revision.

Use the Revise action to create a new revision of an object. Typically, this is done to initiate a new branch of the design, based on the current object. You can revise objects that are checked in to the database, or checked out by others.
