A source change log records what changed in an official publication and when the reference was updated. It should distinguish an observed amendment from a new website design or URL.[1][2][3][4]
Understanding the question
This edition establishes the initial source inventory. No earlier comparison is claimed. A future log entry should preserve the old and new source, the observed date and the effect on a particular reference entry. A publication date, effective date and date of access can be different.[1][2][3][4]
Build the working record
| Consideration | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Source identity | Store the authority, title and exact URL. |
| Change evidence | Record the wording or document version that changed. |
| Publication impact | Identify the entries and conclusions needing revision. |
Put it into practice
If an authority moves a rulebook URL while the rule remains unchanged, log a link correction without describing it as a legal reform.
