What does "Create Derivative Document from Existing" do?

The “Create Derivative Document” option is just like “Create New Document”, except that it additionally creates a historical relationship to indicate that the new document was copied from an existing document.

For example, when starting a new project that’s very similar to an existing project, the requirements document for the new project can be created as a “derivative” of the existing requirements document.
