Under most circumstances, the revision number of an existing document will not need to be changed. That is, if the document is created new within the vault, Meridian Enterprise will assign the correct revision number. When the document is revised in a workflow, its revision number is updated accordingly. Even if existing documents are imported into the vault, as long as accurate metadata is imported or application link data exchange is configured, the revision numbers of documents should be correct. But occasionally there are circumstances when the revision number of a document must be changed manually.
Regardless of the current value of the Revision property, revisions of the document will display in chronological order in the Revisions dialog displayed by invoking the Show Revisions command.
If Workflow Lockdown is enabled, users with the Contributor, Contractor, Approver, Reviewer, or Viewer role cannot change the revision number of a document.
