### File Statuses

When a revision is first created, it is assigned the status UNDEFINED. When the revision is ready for general access, it is checked into the vault, and SSA PDM then assigns it the status RELEASED. Releasing an SSA PDM Object makes it available for distribution. See Glossary.

When you want to make changes in a released SSA PDM Object, you must check it out of the vault. The original revision is then assigned the status UNDER_CHANGE, which indicates that another revision is being prepared, and a new revision is created with the status UNDEFINED.
