Products have defined lifecycles from inception through production. Product development and enhancement introduces changes to the product files. These changes must be tracked and managed to provide a complete history of the changes and modifications as the product develops. Revision management provides consistency throughout the product lifecycle by applying a common definition and behavior to files and items in a vault.
Revision schemes are used to manage versioning during product development.
