Specification History

A new specification document is created through the Specifications list. When there is an existing specification document in the list, users can either base their new document on a previous one or create an entirely new document from a template.

The specification template includes all the available choices for selection.

The specification status is used to determine whether the document should be edited (draft) or not (final).

If creating a new document based on the previous one, the details contained in that document, including previous selections, will be automatically copied. The new specification document will be added to the top of the list, and the previous document will be given the status of superseded.

The most recent specification document is considered the current one. A superseded document cannot be modified or deleted.
