Understanding Revisions

By default, SecureTrack shows the revisions created in the past 72 hours. You can see the number of recent revisions next to each device in the list of monitored devices. If SecureTrack receives a new revision while you are in the Compare view, a "New Revision" message appears next to the Filter button. To show the new revisions in the revision history, click the alert. You can also click on the device to always to refresh the revision history.

SecureTrack shows each revision with these details:

• Revision: The revision number assigned by SecureTrack.
