This may be well worn territory, but I haven't had any luck getting any good
answer from my searches.
What are the best or at least the tried and true methods for updating
documents. I guess I am not thinking so much about the physical update of
the documents (I can obviously revise the documents), but of management of
old and new versions of documents.
I know this sounds a little vague, but I was hoping that it might trigger
some outpouring of sage advice.
