After a commit

What Partix does the moment a release goes through, and where to find it afterwards.

Fresh drafts open

Every item released gets a new draft immediately. You do not create it.

The new draft carries across:

• the name, summary and description
• the image
• every line in its bill of materials
• every document attached to it

You come back to a Staging Area that looks exactly like what you released, ready for the next round. Nothing to re-enter, no drawings to re-attach.

The new drafts are linked to the children's own new drafts, so the staged tree is a complete draft of the whole structure instead of a mix of drafts and released items.

The released record is fixed

The revision you released is now in the Committed Area. It cannot be edited. Browse it any time from the version picker.

Products using a shared item stay where they are

If you released a shared assembly, other products that use it do not move.

• Their lines still point at the revision they were committed against.
• Their released BOMs read exactly as they did before your change.

Part numbers are issued

Any item being numbered for the first time gets its CPN now, from its numbering subcategory.

• Items taking a version get a new number.
• Items taking a revision keep theirs.

Until a number is issued it is only an estimate, which is why commit review shows new number instead of a specific value.

What is recorded

The commit is written to history with, for each item:

• what it was: part number, version and revision
• what it became
• whether it was released as a revision or a version
• whether it was edited directly or forced by something inside it
• who released it, and when
