Reference Documents vs Described By

[hsha1102]

Hello,

I am trying to understand the difference between "Described By" and "Reference Documents".

I referred to the below article which is clear but when I try to revise the document, the associate part is also getting revised both in case of describe by as well as in reference documents.

https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill/Describes-doctype-vs-Reference-doctype/m-p/319970#M37503

Please provide the reason why the part is also getting revised.Is there any preference configuration that I should be aware of ?

Thanks and Regards,

Hari Shankar

Confusion area for many people for many years...  The diagrams and explanations from PTC don't help much.

Only relates to WTDocuments related to WTParts.

From a WTPart, determines which version of the WTDocument is selected.
