Last Updated on January 23, 2025 | 2 min read
Note: The functionality of Supporting Documents is similar to that of Temporary Revisions. Please refer to the Temporary Revisions resource page for operational details. This page focuses on the differences in presentation between Temporary Revisions and Supporting Documents.
Supporting Documents are supplementary materials not intended to be permanent parts of manuals. They are provided with manual revisions or updates as optional resources to enhance clarity on topics discussed in official documents. Unlike mandatory Temporary Revisions, Supporting Documents are discretionary aids that enhance understanding without altering the core content of the manual.
