Revisions
Previously, updating one version of a software, for example, to a newer version, would require: a new Fileset created, new association or deployment generated and then the prior association removed. Revisions simplifies this process.
To prevent associations or deployments being altered, a Fileset becomes a container of multiple revisions.
The version associated with devices may be altered within the Fileset. This allows for efficient update of Filesets on devices, simplified process between testing and mass assignment, whilst at the same time providing an easy method to roll back if found to be necessary; depending upon Fileset Type.
Behind the scenes, swapping from one revision to another is the same as actually swapping between two different Filesets. All contents will be reconsidered and any scripts ran, e.g. a post-uninstaller script will run if included in the Fileset Revision that is being unassigned.
