Bug

The Define Overviews tool documentation and the ArcGIS Desktop Help topic on "Mosaic dataset overviews" both state that for mosaic datasets in an ArcSDE geodatabase, the overviews must be stored in the same ArcSDE geodatabase. This is actually incorrect. If the overview definition is performed in a specific order, the overviews can be stored in another database or as files in a folder location. Perhaps the documentation should be updated to reflect this ability.
