Revision connection types create a sequence of revised record copies.
A revision connection is a direct link between records that designates one record as a revision of another. This creates a chain that enables you to track a record throughout its life cycle. A record in a revision chain is placed in an ordered sequence, so that you can identify the order of revision copies. You can see which record immediately precedes or follows the selected revision linked record. The system prompts you if a newer revision of the record exists. Once you establish a revision chain, you can delete a record in the chain without breaking the connections between the remaining linked records, leaving the chain unbroken.
