Unlike continuous sharing for design review, sharing a revisable drawing is initiated
using the Share command from the authoring tool.
The first time you share a revisable document, the software creates a new document master and the first revision in SDx. A revision (major) is an officially recognized change to a document. A version (minor) is an intermediate update that you have shared. Revisions can be shared for distributing the data, or they can go through the approval process, depending on your needs. Each revision of a document can have multiple versions.
After the first share of a revisable document, the software creates new versions and revisions. Subsequent revisions are related to the master document and stored as revisions.
Some tools provide the ability to manage revision information and display it in the title block. When you enter the revision information (revision number, description, and so forth) in the tool, that information is shared with the document and is used to define the revision. If the tool does not provide this, you can select this information from the available list during the sharing process.
Changes in the document status of a related revision change the status of the master document.
When you share data from an authoring tool, you may not be able to view all the properties that you shared in the SDx Web Client.
