If you selected View > Options > SPFVersions, you must have already created a revision of the document using your SmartPlant Test Tool.Net before you can publish that document for the first time. If a document has several revisions, the software uses the most recent revision of that document.

If you selected View > Options > ToolRevisions and you try to publish a document for the first time, the software displays an error message that the document you tried to publish does not have a revision number.
