DCO sees only the document under previous revision change

[CharmenePerkins]

We have revision controlled workflow for the DCO workspace.  On occasions, I make minor changes to a document after the change order has been accepted (not everyone in my company has spelling, grammar and formatting skills).  These changes are minor changes that do not affect the content of the document.  I usually find these types of errors when I distribute the document.  The next change order created for the document does not "see" the document I changed after the DCO has been accepted, it links only to the document attached to the previous change order - even though you can open my document and can see the document history when clicking the history icon.  It makes more sense for the next change order to "see" the last document attached rather than just the document linked to the previous change order.

Hi Charmene,

The issue with the Revision Controlled, it locks all the information to ensure no other changes or updates.  By you doing the changes after the change order have gone through, the system won't recognize the new update.  

One option is to create a special transition in the Change Order for documentations updates that doesn't require the entire approval board.

This will only allow a selected few to go and make the corrections in the documents and push through the change order. This way it will always get the latest version in the attachment.

I understand the need for the request, but during the meant time will this alternative process works for you.

Thanks,

Trung
