Revisions

Revisions are a mandatory attribute of controlled documents in InEight Document. There is a strict rule in InEight Document that each time a document is uploaded, the revision number must be greater than the previous revision. This is controlled via a sequence number against each revision.

The Sequence is used to validate documents being uploaded to ensure that the revision being uploaded is greater than the previously uploaded revision.
