Short answer

For tenancy document freshness audit, mark which version belongs in the active submission. Then date the active file and take conflicting copies out of selection; do not close current version while two files still appear current. For tenancy document freshness audit, quarantine the record replaced by a newer source. Then write which current file superseded it and when; do not close superseded file while the replacement trail is missing. Consider the moment when records have different issue and expiry dates; that outcome remains reversible. The applicant uses a freshness and expiry audit to source current version, compare superseded file and mark effective date open. If a complete folder can still contain an old record, pause before selecting another file and give retirement record a named owner. The recipient remains responsible for selection.
