Issue revision C of R2417-540-001

The fire control plan went out for review on TR-003, and it came back Rejected, with two comments from the surveyor against rev. B. Somebody has answered them: rev. C is drawn, it is in the workspace, and it is still a concept.

Your job is the part that is not drawing — making rev. C the revision the shop floor may build from, and making sure rev. B stops being it.

Where you are

Open Documents, find R2417-540-001 — Fire control plan, and click its number to open the document.

Two tabs matter, and they are one filter seen twice:

Tab	What is on it
Actual revisions	the revisions whose status is Actual
Other revisions	everything else — concepts and superseded revisions

Right now rev. B is on the first and rev. A and rev. C are on the second. Nothing distinguishes them but the status field on each revision, which is worth knowing before you start looking for a “make current” button: there is not one, because being current is not an action here. It is a value.

What to do

Four changes, on two revisions.

Where	Field	To
rev. B	Status	Superseded
rev. C	Status	Actual
rev. C	Status (builder)	Approved for Construction
rev. C	Reason for change	anything that says what moved

Status and Status (builder) are editable on the revision rows on either tab — a double-click on the cell. Reason for change is on rev. C’s own page: click the revision’s name to open it, and the field is in its attributes block.

The order is not yours to choose

Try rev. C first and the save is refused. A document may have exactly one actual revision, and that is enforced by the workspace rather than suggested by it — the application counts the actual revisions of the document and refuses the second one.

So rev. B is retired first, and for a moment R2417-540-001 has no actual revision at all. That gap is legal, and it is the only way through.

Why each of the four

Rev. B superseded, not deleted. The revision stays, with its date, its file and the comments raised against it. Somebody on board is holding a printout of rev. B, and in a year the only question worth answering about this document will be who approved what, and which revision were they looking at. A superseded revision is the answer to the second half.

Rev. C actual. This is the one line of data the shop floor reads. The register’s Has current revision columns are filtered on exactly this, which is why they will follow your edit without you touching the document row at all.

Status (builder) on rev. C. A revision that is current and still marked In Progress tells production the opposite of what you meant. This field is the yard’s own opinion of the drawing, it is the one status column the register shows, and it does not move on its own.

Reason for change. The only field that says what is different between two revisions of the same drawing. Every other field describes a state; this one describes a change, and it is the field somebody reads in eighteen months when a part does not fit. The two comments on rev. B are what you are answering — say so.

What is not here

You cannot close the two comments on rev. B, and that is not an omission in the exercise. A comment’s status is editable only on the comment’s own page, and nothing in this workspace links to it — so retiring the drawing and answering the conversation about it really are two separate jobs here, and only one of them is available to you.
