When is a new Revision created?

The correct answer is C. A new revision is created when an administrator publishes session changes in SmartConsole. Check Point’s session model lets administrators make changes in a private working session without immediately affecting the published management database. When the administrator publishes, those changes become part of the management database, and a revision is created for change tracking and comparison. Option A is wrong because there is no normal SmartConsole workflow where a set revision command creates the revision. Option B is wrong because database installation is not the revision creation trigger. Option D is wrong because installing policy pushes the published policy to gateways; it does not itself define the creation of a new management revision. The CCSA takeaway is that “Publish” commits the management changes and creates a revision; “Install Policy” enforces those published changes on selected gateways.
