You can create a project copy from a master document. This copies an existing master document to a project folder, optionally locks the master document, and links the project copy to the master document.
This is similar to creating a new document as a derivative of an existing document. The copy can be further developed during the project and released as a new revision of the master document. For example, a master facility drawing may need to be modified as part of a facility upgrade or expansion. Yet, facility managers need access to the master drawing until the project is complete. You can do so by creating a project copy of the current master drawing.
You can also lock the master drawing against other revisions. The project copy may then be modified as necessary without affecting the master drawing.
