Each refined version of the form that is submitted to the agency is contained and packaged as a submission "revision". This approach allows all changes to be reviewed, certified and formally submitted by the submitter in addition to allowing all changes to be tracked over time. Prior versions of the submission can be reviewed, when needed, and versions can be compared, side-by-side.
This topic describes how to find and view prior version of a submission and how to compare two different version of a submission.
