That can then be selected and prepared for update to the latest revision with minimal effort. The automated comparison of revisions for Workspace content flags any that is out of date. For each entity, information about the current linked Item is given, in terms of revision, lifecycle state, and the source Workspace in which it resides. It automatically detects and lists all components, flagging if they are Workspace entities or not, and then compares the Item-Revision of each Workspace component on the schematics against the available revisions of that component in the Workspace. The Item Manager is 'command-central' for synchronizing Workspace design entities – placed on schematic sheets – with the source content they are linked to in a Workspace. Enter the Item Manager ( Tools » Item Manager). For this, you need a single, centralized place from which to effect multiple changes in a batch-like manner. Individual component change is great, however, it soon becomes tiresome when dealing with a more sizable number of components.
