Managing Screening Revisions

New revisions may be released for the Manuals whose Baseline revision / Active revision exists in FieldLogs. These new revisions can be added through Screening.

Screening is a process of comparing the new revision with the already existing revision of the manual and highlighting the changes.

Note

You need to have a Security Role with Rule, Manual Catalog - Write or All to perform Screening Revisions.
