Revisioon

Revisioon is a term used in several languages, notably Estonian and Finnish, to refer to revision, review, or inspection. The word derives from Latin revisio, meaning a looking back, re-examination, or renewal.

In publishing and editing, a revision is the process of reviewing and rewriting a draft to improve clarity, accuracy, and structure. In accounting and governance, a revision or audit is a formal examination of records and procedures to verify compliance and reliability.

In construction or engineering, a revision denotes an updated version of plans or specifications, usually identified by a revision number and date. Revisions document changes and rationale and help stakeholders understand how a project has evolved.

In software development, a revision (or revision number) tracks changes to code or documents. Version control systems store a history of revisions, enabling comparison, branching, and rollback if needed.

The term also appears in other contexts as a general concept of examining, updating, or re-evaluating a resource, item, or process.
