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
- • Repeated headers and footers are separate text on each page, so edit each page's copy.
- • Tabular digits keep columns of years lined up.
Before and after for approvers
Compare the revised policy with the current one; approvers see every changed word highlighted.
