Understanding Issue vs Revision Dates
Issue Date: The first/original date (when specs are first issued)
Revision Dates: All subsequent dates (when specs are updated)
Create the Issue Date
Go to the Project tab
Click Revisions and Submissions
Click Add Date
Select a date from the calendar
The first date becomes the Issue Date
Assign to Specs
Go to the Specs tab
Highlight specs to assign (or select all)
Click the Issue/Revision button
The Issue Date appears as the first option
Click it to assign to selected specs
Auto-Assignment for Revision Dates
Turn ON the Auto-assign toggle in the Revisions tab
Subsequent revision dates will automatically assign when specs change
The Issue Date must always be manually assigned first
Tips
Always assign the issue date before subsequent revisions
Revision dates auto-assign only when the toggle is enabled
Specs need the issue date assigned before they show revision history
