Revisioning the Engineering Work Package

Revisions allow you to make changes to an EWP without losing the previous versions of your files. The current revision of the EWP displays your current files, but you can view historic revisions at any time since all this data has been saved. Every revision of a file or EWP is clearly identified by its revision number.

You can revision files within an EWP, or you can create a new revision of the EWP itself.

EWP Revisions

Creating a new revision of an EWP allows you to keep track of significant changes to the scope of the EWP. To learn how to create a new EWP Revision, go to To Revision the EWP.

When you select an EWP, the current revision displays by default. The General Information tab displays the Revision Number and a list of all the revisions of the EWP. To view a historic EWP revision, select the check box next to it in the Revisions list. To download a file from the historic EWP Revision, go to the appropriate tab, then select the check box next to the file. Select the Download Selected button. You cannot edit a historic EWP revision.

Note: When you delete an EWP, all the revisions are deleted. You cannot delete specific revisions of the EWP.

Relationships

When you revision the EWP, relationships to EWP documents can become outdated. Several reports are provided to help you identify inconsistencies and update relationships.

File Revisions

When you upload a new version of a file to the EWP, the revision number for the file increases by 1. When you upload an unchanged file, the revision number for the file does not change. By default, the list only displays the current revisions of the files. To view previous revisions along with the current revisions in the list, select Show historic revisions.

Note: You can only upload files to the current revision of an EWP.
