What is Correction field in Work Item used for ?

The M5 New & Noteworthy has a section for "Support for corrected estimates":

"Work item types such as tasks, defects and enhancements now feature an
additional attribute to specify a corrected estimate. Similarly to the
estimate value, the corrected estimate is used in all views showing work
load information, such as the Team Load section or the My Work view. The
corrected estimate, together with the Time Spent field, lets you easily
track the estimated and actual effort needed to close a work item. Once
you specify a corrected estimate, the original estimate will not have
any further effects on work load computation."

Hi All,

Can anyone explaing the difference between the "Estimate" and "Corrected Estimate" attributes in RTC?

"Estimate" is the first idea of efforts.
"Correction" is the newest guess for your efforts.

"Corrected Estimate" might be a custom attribute.
