Create a baseline after the broad edit
Freeze the first coherent direction before stakeholder changes so later decisions remain traceable.
Describe what changed and why
Use a short change note covering added evidence, removed groups, revised principles, and resolved risks.
Protect approval history
Make approved files read-only where possible and create a new working version for later changes.
A material revision
Version C2 replaces an unavailable stone, records the supplier issue, adds two samples, and keeps C1 as the reviewed history rather than overwriting it.
A limit to keep visible
Version history records change but does not resolve disagreement. Each review still needs a named owner, criteria, outcome, and explicit statement of which version controls the next work.
Practical checklist for this decision
- Save coherent baselines.
- Write concise change notes.
- Name review copies.
- Protect approved versions.
