Revisioning is an optional feature that you enable or disable for the registry. When you enable the revisioning feature, CentraSite automatically generates a minor version of an object every time an update is made to the object. (All previous revisions are retained when a new one is created.) Revisioning enables you to reference or revert to a specific revision of an object.

In some API-related documentation for CentraSite, a revision is referred to as a checkpoint.
