Revising items in Upchain

In this lesson, we’ll look at how you can revise items in the Web application and the Mechanical CAD plugin, as well as some best practices to keep in mind.

Before you start:

You must already have items in your tenant in a released state. Review course "Change management 1" for how to do this.

Revising items in the web application

In this video, we explore how to revise a released item in the web application, and discuss when you would need to perform these tasks.

Key takeaways

  1. Revisions to released items can be for many different reasons and can occur at any time in the item’s lifecycle.
  2. Revising a released item creates a new version of the item, which is in development. The original released item still exists.
  3. Revising a component within an assembly or electrical package means you must revise the assembly/electrical package as well.
  4. You should only revise electrical items or items without CAD in the web application.
  5. Revision notes should be filled in as changes are made so that you do not forget what changes you've made when you eventually release the item again.

Revising items in the CAD plugin  

In this video, we explore how to revise a released item in the Mechanical CAD plugin, and discuss when you would need to perform these tasks.

Key takeaways

  1. Revising an item that contains mechanical CAD should be done in the Mechanical CAD plugin.
  2. Revision notes should be filled in as changes are made so that you do not forget what changes you've made when you eventually release the item again.
