-The numbers after the colon are the revision number.
When you open a new design the revision is 0. Each time you unlock/lock the design the revision increases by one whether you make changes or not. The last user to unlock/lock the design is is shown above the Revision number box - (great reason to give each user their own log in and password) While the exact changes are not detailed, you can click on the History tab in the design and get information on which user unlocked the file / when / did it affect quantity and price
Why is the revision important?
When you create a design and add it to a Project - On the Project there is a field on the right side of the item line indicating the revision number of the design when placed on the Project / the current Revision number of that design in the Design moduleIf a user changes any design that's already been placed on a Project then you'll see the new revision # reflected on the Project. This will not change any pricing, times, etc on that Project but should you chose to use it again on another Project, you need to be aware that it may have been changed and it may not have the same pricing, costs, materials etc.../Being aware that a design may have been changed is important for when customers request repeat orders. Once a design is used on a Project it would be better to duplicate the design, which gives it a new design number, and make changes on the new design
Update:
In Build 3045, to update the prices/weights/ times of a design, you have to unlock it which will change the revision number. We are working on a batch update feature which will allow you to update existing design prices/weights/times without changing the revision number.The History tab will reflect Batch Update.
