Michael shares how Harmonic Bionics uses Unifize to manage part revisions. By tagging parts with specific revisions, team members can easily access older versions when needed. Unifize stores all relevant details, from product definitions to design files, ensuring clarity and a seamless understanding of each part's evolution.

If you were to go do a search for that part number and then you would open up a submenu to access the previous revisions, only the most recent revision would be marked as active.
