A bill of quantities (BOQ) is the list of work items with quantity and rate for a project. When you change the BOQ and an approver accepts the change, Superwise keeps the result as a revision. This page lists the revisions of the project. It also lists the draft, which is the set of changes that wait for approval.

The page is called **BOQ Playground Revisions** on the screen.

## Before you start

- Choose the project in the project list at the top of the screen.

## How to open the revisions

Open the page from one of these places:

- On **Project Cost > Project BOQ**, click **Playground Revisions**.
- On **Planning > BOQ Estimation**, click **Actions** and choose **Revision History**.

## How to read the list

1. Find the draft. Its row has a light yellow colour and **Draft Version** in **Revision**.
2. Find the current version. Its row has a green colour and a revision number followed by **(Current Version)**.
3. To find a revision, type at least 3 characters in **Search (min. 3 characters)** (mark 1). The list shows 15 rows a page. Use the page buttons under the list.
4. To read the details, click the arrow at the start of a row (mark 2).

The panel under a row has two tabs.

- **Remarks** shows **Creation On**, **Creation By**, **Modified On**, **Modified By**, **Revision Creation Remarks** and **Revision Approval Remarks**.
- **Attachments** has one **Download** button for each file that came with the approval request.

## How to go from the draft to its summary

1. Click the menu icon at the end of the **Draft Version** row. Only the draft has this icon.
2. Click **Summary** if you add or edit BOQs. Click **Approve/Reject** if you can approve.

The summary page opens. See [Approve BOQ changes](approve-boq-changes.md).
