Following upon the state model defined for a revision, these operations can be used to change the current state of a revision.

Note

The revision state notwithstanding, the revision still retains the Universal State that reflects the Universal State of the Effective/Default revision version.

For more information on the revision state model, see Revisions.

Mark Revision as Obsolete#

To mark a revision as obsolete, open any versioned object and then select Mark Revision Obsolete in the top ribbon. Additionally, you can enter a comment and select the Obsolete button to complete the operation.

Info

When a revision is marked as Obsolete, existing references to the revision can work normally but a new reference cannot be assigned to an object. Additionally, no new versions can be created, nor can the revision be edited while it is in the Obsolete state. These actions are only possible if the revision is in the Active state.

Reactivate Revision#

To reactivate a revision, open an obsolete revision and select Reactivate Revision from the top ribbon. Additionally, you can enter a comment and select the Reactivate button to complete the operation.
