Revision numbers are automatically assigned to policies, and are used for troubleshooting and DLP Help Desk override key creation.
All DLP Help Desk functions create release codes using revision numbers, referred to as Revision ID. For bypass release codes, using the revision number is optional, but it is the default setting.
When an administrator creates a policy in Trellix DLP Endpoint, the policy is assigned the revision number 1. This number is incremented each time the policy is changed. In addition to being used for requesting a bypass or uninstall key, the revision number is important for supporting troubleshooting processes, to make sure that policy changes are applied to the endpoints.
Locating the revision number
In ePO - On-prem, the revision number is located in DLP Policy Manager, on the Policy Assignment tab.
In Trellix DLP Endpoint for Windows, the revision number is located in the endpoint client, on the Tasks tab.
In Trellix DLP Endpoint for Mac, the revision is located in the endpoint client, on the Data Loss Prevention page.
