How do I know which version was signed?
Bind signing evidence to one exact document state and preserve the relationship to earlier drafts.
Read answer →Universal Document for Education teams
Publish material that can evolve without erasing history.
UDR supports revision; UDS can preserve a selected final teaching or policy state.
The simple model
UDR while the document is changing. UDS when the exact selected state matters. BrowserCarrier versions can be opened in a normal browser.
Start small
Pick one document family and one measurable problem. Keep existing required formats and systems in place while you test whether explicit state, lineage and browser-readable delivery make the workflow clearer.
Questions that may matter in this workflow
How can I tell whether a document was altered?

Read answer →How do I show that a document has been superseded?
Keep the earlier sealed state intact and point to the newer state instead of replacing history.
