When you resissue a spec as part of an addendum, ASI, PR, etc., how do you indicate the changes to the originally issued specification?
I would really like to survey AS MANY of you as possible. So if someone responds "A" and that is what you do, too, please respond as well that you do "A." I am less interested in different ways of doing it, and more as to what a general consensus might be. And if 20 of you do "A", I would really like to know that 20 of you do "A" -- and maybe a handful do "B," "C," etc.
Also, if you know of any CSI reference as to how to do it, please let me know. I searched the PDPG, the CSPG, and the CCAPG and didn't find anything related to what I am specifically looking for.
Thank you very much! |

We use standard MS Word Tracking and indicate deleted text as strikethrough and added text as underlined. Word also does it in colored text, but we usually print black. |

My preference is the same as Alex though I do have teams and clients who have their own requirements, usually variations which can include bold, colors (which may not print in PDF or when printing hard copy), printing hard copy on different colored paper for each type of Addendum and Modification, and other one-off options.
We typically accept changes from previous revisions so that only the current changes show up in Track Changes. Some clients want each previous change retained and flagged, identifying which Addendum or Modification resulted in each change.
We also flag latest changes in updated TOC using Track Changes.
Using Track Changes allows me to include a margin marker to help readers find the changes in PDF. |

I do as Alex and Ken, but I will add a date of revision in the TOC per line item. This is predicated in my having access to the spec document files.
Sometimes I only have the PDF of the spec. In those scenarios, I introduce an errata sheet at the beginning of each section that is to be revised. The errata sheet states the change in very simple terms; "Revise item 2.2.A to stipulate 3-5/8" in lieu of 4" or whatever. |

For the TOC I maintain two right-hand columns, one for date of issue and one for latest revision date. I indicate the type of latest change after the Section Title in the TOC as "Section Title - Add#xx"
Each line of the initial TOC issue has Section or Document Numbers left justified, tab to Section or Document Title, then tab to initial date of issue with an additional tab which is left blank for future revisions.
I do not use table formats. Simple Word tabs make it easy for anyone to take over and make changes in my absence. |

I use much the same process as Alex and Ken.
- MS Word Track Changes, since we use PDFs we publish the revisions in red.
- Revise the issue date of the revised section in the TOC.
- Accept all changes from previous revisions prior to making new changes. |
