The revision table is created on one sheet. If you create a revision table on another sheet, it references the originally created table.

These options are only available when a drawing sheet is active.

If you change from On Sheet 1 to Independent in a drawing that currently has sheets that reference the original table, a prompt warns you that child tables will be deleted.
