Described by Documents versus References Documents

[Norman]

In the Related tab of a WTPart, what's the difference between Described by Documents and References Documents?  Can you give an example of each?

Norman,

in the Windchill help guide you can find your answers.

Simply click at the question marks in the related tab.

You may also find similar answers typing in the right upper corner of the community site.

Also I suggest you to ask for Windchill in the right place so other users can help you. Ryan Kelley‌ will move this discussion for you.
