Amending a trust means changing specific provisions of your trust, for instance, updating a section here and a section there. This makes your trust difficult to understand because one would have to read the original, then read the amendments to comprehend the changes.
As for a restatement of trust, this means that the whole document completely replaces and supersedes all of the provisions of the original trust. A restated trust is easier to read because there's no need to refer back to the original trust. For this reason, the program offers restating your trust.
As for revoking a trust, this means to dissolve the trust. Generally one might want to revoke a trust if it was created with a spouse and now both of you are divorcing.
There is no need to revoke the original trust merely to make changes. If you do revoke the original trust, any assets, like your house or brokerage account, that were funded into the original trust will have to be retitled. However, with a restatement of trust, all your assets in the trust name remain in the trust so there's no need to change title.

The name and date on your trust will always match the name of your original trust and the date you first created it, even if you make changes in the future.
Be sure to keep your original trust document. You should not destroy your original trust. However, you may destroy any previous restated trusts. Keep the current restated trust with your original trust and other original documents.
