Major

A major version type is created every time a user:

• Generates a document.
• Regenerates a document.
• Creates an Offline document.
• Imports an Offline document.
• Generates a supporting document.
• Checks in a Clean document or a document without Redlines.
• Checks in a document as Final.

A MAJOR version can be either a new document instance or an incremented version of a pre-existing document. For further explanation, see New Document Versus Incremented Version

Minor (Negotiator)

A minor version is created every time a Negotiator makes changes to the document and checks it in using X-Author for Contracts with the following exceptions:

• The Negotiator checks in the document as Clean or Final (creates a MAJOR version).
• The Negotiator checks in a document on behalf of a Reviewer (creates a REVISION–see below).

Revision (Reviewer)

A revision is created every time a document is returned by a reviewer to the Negotiator. The document is either returned by the reviewer as an email attachment and checked in using the X-Author Contracts for Outlook plug-in, or checked in on their behalf by the Negotiator (for both internal and external reviewers) using X-Author Contracts for Word. For more information on Send for Review using X-Author, see X-Author for Contracts documentation.
