What people change in a policy document
- • Policy text
- • Version number
- • Owner and approver
- • Review and effective dates
What happens to the rest of the page
- • A longer name pushes the words after it along the line; right aligned names grow to the left.
- • Names often contain letters the PDF has not used yet, like Z, Q or accented letters. The complete font is loaded for them.
Before and after for approvers
Compare the revised policy with the current one; approvers see every changed word highlighted.
