I would expect to be able to leave the date off the link and get the latest file version. Depending on technology that gets implemented with soft link, redirection or duplicate copy, but for the user, that is immaterial, all that counts is being able to ignore the revision date.

I would expect each document to carry such a generic link to the "latest" version in a header or a note somehwere, so that no matter what copy of the document you are accessing (based some reference somewhere) you are always able to discover the existence of later versions.

I would expect the revision notes to have a link for each date, so one can backtrack versions without going through the archive.

Otherwise, this is beginning to take shape.

Thanks for the clarification Asmus. I agree with you, brochures shouldn’t have revision histories.

 

I had noticed the one place where Jim used the word “reservation” and thought your second sentence was independent from the first, and commenting on that-

I have reservations about embedding text like "wp-content/uploads/" in the official document link”

 

So it’s all good.

PS: Brochures, by their nature are different from the kind of reports and formal documents that need careful version tracking in the document. I disagree with Jim on his reservation.

This was about whether revisions are documented inside the document. Don, suggested not, and I would agree. I think of brochures as a type of document, not a technology, but may have misunderstood something.
