Because many quality systems call for strict record keeping about the revisions made to jobs, the Revisions submenu provides an audit trail of all modifications that are made to this record. The revision records, which are stored in the Revisions submenu and in the Revisions module at General|Revisions, are automatically created when a modification is made to the job.

To view a job’s revision history, open the job and select the Revisions submenu.
