TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
At NCR, we use a "Revision Record" that includes both the documentation and
software release numbers, the release date (month/year), and a brief
description.

Subject: document revision history
Just wondering how many of you use a document revision
history in your documents; and, if so, which edits do
you place in the history? Major changes in content?
Minor changes (a few words) in content? Changes in
the template or other non-content items (page numbers,
margins, and so on)?
Also, when do you decide when a new version of a
document has been completed? In other words, at what
point would you go from 3 to 3.1, or 3.1 to 3.1.5?
TIA,
Mike
