Key points
Finalise the request version control handoff
Compare the latest request with the recorded earlier wording and isolate the changed requirement. Recheck only the affected evidence, preserve the prior instruction in private history and label the new response version.
Useful context
Compare property-request versions after follow-up
Version control exposes exactly which instruction changed and which selected file or answer must be reconsidered.
The file check centres on a post-submission request change, not version choice inside the initial portal session.
Working checklist
Keep request version control traceable
Place the earlier and later property messages side by side and mark every wording change before reopening any prepared file.
Revisit only the rows affected by the delta, while retaining the earlier instruction as a dated private history entry.
- Earlier instruction: preserve its exact wording and date.
- New instruction: identify added, removed or changed requirements.
- Affected evidence: reopen only the files whose scope or period changed.
- Change record: state which version now governs the next response.

Working checklist
Keep the reviewed request version control record
Finish by linking the request version control outcome to one person, one property and one reviewed version.
Practical example
Compare property-request versions after follow-up: worked example
A later message changes 'three months' to 'six weeks'. The renter records that wording delta, revisits the affected evidence and keeps the earlier instruction in the private history.
Keep in view
Risks to avoid with request version control
Do not combine requirements from two messages or erase the evidence of what changed.
Keep personal information relevant to the recipient's stated purpose and avoid adding sensitive material that was not requested.
