Electronic document revisions
Content Manager enables you to create multiple revisions of an electronic document.
A revision is a modified copy of the document. You can attach multiple revisions of an electronic document to a single record.
When you choose to check in an electronic document that has been checked out, you can create a new revision of the document.
A document being returned will be added to the record, the older revision being saved as a previous revision.
NOTE:
- When the option Delete this rendition when creating a new revision in the Content Manager Enterprise Studio General - File Types - Properties - Renditions tab is selected, and a user creates a new revision of an original document, Content Manager deletes the rendition from the record. This applies to any rendition, including digital signatures.
When the option is not selected, the rendition remains. In the case of a digital signature rendition, it probably would not work because the signature is associated with the document that has been replaced by the new revision.
