A community question

Who changed the governing documents?

People may not know which version was approved or when. Preserve versions and the authorized change record.

The situation

Who changed the governing documents?

Two copies of a rule circulate after a meeting, and no one can immediately identify the adopted version or the decision that changed it.

Documents are shared as files with ambiguous names and no easy route back to the approval record.

What a connected record can do

Keep the answer with the evidence.

  1. 01

    Start with the question

    Preserve versions and the authorized change record.

  2. 02

    Put the supporting pieces together

    Connect the source, documents, decision, and reported result the association chooses to include.

  3. 03

    Let the right person follow the trail

    Give an authorized reviewer a clear route back to the records behind the answer.

Relevant context

What the record could include.

  • Document title
  • Version and effective date
  • Approval or recording reference
  • Superseded version

Access would follow the association's permissions.
