ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
After a folio is locked and a document is revised, it doesn't shows the last revision when unlocked

When creating a document and then adding revisions to it,

If we add it to a folio as revision 3 (for example), and then lock the folio and add another revision to that document, it shows revision 3.
Now, when adding another revision to the document to get it to revision 4 while the folio is locked, if you unlock by creating an editable revision, it shows revision 4 (expected). By locking the folio again, it shows the default revision it was originally locked with, instead the last one.

Changes

- When folio is unlocked, the dDocname with latest Released version of item is displayed in content info

- When folio is locked, the dID is used to show the specific revision and it will be the revision when the folio was locked.

- So after lock if a new revision is created, then the .xcsr file is not updated and so it shows the old one.

- Say in the above scenario if we unlock again and create a new revision then the .xcsr file is updated with new revision and subsequest lock will reflect this new revision.

This is how it is designed. When folio is Locked - > showing latest revision is not intended by design

The point is when Folio is locked, no more updates to .xcsr file is done with respect to dID.

If we go against this behavior, we will be compromising the functionality for lock.
