How using linked study objects affects revisions in the InForm application

Object revisions are sometimes created during the initial deployment of a study when an item, section, or form is used as a link (that is, it is used multiple times in a study).

Because the presentation of a study object (its layout) is separated from the data of study objects, you can create different layouts for each instance of the study object. Object revisions are created for the study objects with modified layouts.

For example, if the Dem form is used on two study events and each form has a different form title in the Layout tab, a form revision is created for one of the Dem forms in the InForm application.

The following table provides examples of information that, when you modify it for a linked study object, results in the creation of object revisions.
