Document Control Software: Revision History

 The revision history tab shows all of the recorded changes to a document. The changes are documented either:
  • through the DCR (Document Change Request) process using the four icons designed for that purpose; or
  • directly entered via this screen
Although we recommend the use of the DCR process, a recorded change can be added.
