Dialog “Create Revision”
A revision is a valid state at a given time of a requirement, file, single artifact, document, diagram, package, and project.
If you want to make major changes to an item, we recommend that you version the file or create a revision first.
In projects are revisions created automatically when a new element is created or during a state change, if this is set in the state machine.
Dialog opens:
- via the context menu of an item with the command Edit Revision/ Create Revisions
- via the backstage menue of a project|portfolio|program with the command Project|Portfolio|Program/ Revisions/ Create revision (version 6.3 and higher)
The dialog
When you create a new revision, you can enter information or a description about the revision here. These revision descriptions are displayed in the history and provide a quick overview of the individual revision statuses.
Description of Revision Specify in the description field why you are creating this revision. This gives you the opportunity to return to an older state of a file that is not only defined by the creation date, if you want to discard your changes afterwards.
Create Revision for not changed entities (Version 6.3 and higher)
By default, a revision is only created if the item has changed from the previous revision level. Select this option if you want a revision to be created even if the contents have not changed.
Publish (Version 6.4 and higher)
This option is offered when you create a revision for a project. If you check the option, the created revision can be published directly and used as a project template when creating a new project.
