Viewing Revision and Version Information

You can view revision and version information about each document. Document objects are managed by revision. Files that are attached to these document objects are managed by version.

When a file that is attached to a document object is updated, it is assigned a new version. When a document object is updated it can be updated with attached files or without attached files.

If the document object is updated with multiple attached files, the latest version of each file is attached to the new revision of the document object. This means each file can have a different version.
