Revision Control Search

The Revision Control Search portal allows users to search for entities that have a revision history. The Search By dropdown provides additional functionality so that users can search for revisions that are associated to theirs or other’s user ID. Users can also Check In, Force Check In, or Check Out one or more entities through this portal.
