The Metadata panel allows you to manage resource metadata and revisions using the Create Checkpoint and View Versions options. Each time you create a check point, it is added as a new reversion of the resource. Revisions is a useful way to facilitate Disaster Recovery and Fault Tolerance in the registry. By creating a revision, a user essentially saves a snapshot of the current state of a resource or collection that can be restored at a later date. The registry's checkpoint and restoration mechanisms are similar to that of System Restore of Microsoft Windows.
