How do I know which version was signed?
Bind signing evidence to one exact document state and preserve the relationship to earlier drafts.

Use UDR while documents are changing and UDS when the exact final state matters.
Drafts, negotiated agreements, evidence packages and client-facing records can preserve lineage without forcing a new app.
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

Read answer →How do I show that a document has been superseded?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.
