That's what we do at my current employer and the employer before. The last
2 digits of the part number identify the version of the document. Each time
the document is released, the number gets incremented.

With documentation for a product that has a shelf life of 10-20 years, it's
a good idea to notify the customer of a revision because old versions of
PDFs always surface when you least expect it, and to no good end.

Somewhat off topic, what does everyone think about not having a revision

No, round dots are not supported per se. You would need to create a script
