How do I amend a final document without overwriting it?
Derive a new living UDR from the prior final state and preserve the relationship between them.

Keep evidence and document states distinguishable instead of flattening everything into filenames.
UD can preserve exact states, source lineage and later supersession while leaving legal admissibility to the governing process.
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

PDF preserves appearance well but usually leaves version relationships to filenames, folders and external systems.
Read answer →Can a structured document open in a normal browser?
Yes. UD BrowserCarrier files can package a browser-openable representation alongside the portable document state.
