When completing pages or layout spaces you have the option of describing the changes you have made to a page or layout space in a revision project. The texts entered will be used for the printed and / or graphical output of the revision overview.

Preconditions:

• You have opened a revision project (file extension *.ell).
• You have made changes to the revision project.

1. Select the project or the modified pages in the page navigator or select a layout space in the layout space navigator, then select the menu item Utilities > Revision control > Change tracking > Complete pages.
2. In the Description of page modification dialog, enter the revision data (index, description, and reason for change) for the modified pages.
3. Select the Generate report when completing pages check box if you want the report pages contained in the selection to be updated when completing the pages.
4. Click [OK].
   
   The identification of the pages as "draft" is removed.
   
   The revision data is saved to the modified pages.

Tips:

• It is also possible to complete pages, and thereby assign a revision index to them, when they have not been changed. To do this, the required page types must be entered in the project settings (Options > Settings > Projects > "Project name" > Management > Revision (change tracking)) in the Take page types specially into consideration when completing group box.
• The project property Highest revision index (change tracking) (ID 10098) supplies the highest revision index of all pages and layout spaces in the project. It can be placed as special text on a project page and this way can also be printed. The property searches for the newest revision index. This must correspond to the format set in the Settings: Change tracking (numbering of the revision index) dialog and must not be changed subsequently.
