# Review a revised submission

> Compare a new drawing revision and inspect whether prior issues were addressed.

1. Upload the revised drawing as **Shop drawings / submittal**, with its new revision label.
2. Create a **New review** using the governing design reference and the revised submission.
3. Select the earlier submission in **Previous submission** when relevant.
4. Run the AI review and inspect its findings and coverage.

Existing findings may be supplied as context when Trace finds a prior review for the selected previous submission. Verify any claimed continuity against the actual drawing revisions.

## Revision evidence and reviewer decisions

Revision labels describe what changed between drawings:

| Label | What it indicates |
| - | - |
| **Addressed** | Evidence suggests a prior issue was corrected. |
| **Unresolved** | Evidence suggests the prior issue remains. |
| **Partially addressed** | Some correction is visible, but the issue is not fully accounted for. |
| **New** | A newly identified issue. |
| **Unable to verify** | Available evidence does not establish the revision outcome. |

These labels are separate from your **Open**, **Confirmed**, **Resolved**, or **Dismissed** decision. Verify the correction before recording a resolution.

Open **Revision log** to inspect revision-related findings for the selected review and the workspace activity history. Select a finding to return to its drawing evidence.

## Keep document history separate

Use **Previous shop drawing** during upload to link each revised PDF to its earlier version. This preserves the original bytes and citations independently of any review. Expand a document family in **Document library** to open saved shop revisions. See [Projects and revision history](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/projects.md).

## October 20: document types and comment continuity

Revision chains apply to shop drawings. Structural drawing changes are linked bulletins or sketches with issue identifiers and applicability. See [CA document library](https://trace-review.mintlify.site/ca-library.md).

When a resubmission is linked to its previous shop PDF, Trace requires that parent in the next review. AI returns an assessment for every prior non-dismissed comment, including engineer notes. Open **Previous comments** in the drawing workspace and verify each assessment. **Approved** requires all previous comments to be verified as Addressed or Not applicable, alongside the existing finding/check gates. Earlier reviews retain their decisions.
