# Update Date Audit for Searchable Records Searchable records age unevenly. Some pages remain useful because they define a concept. Others become misleading because a current number, interface label, or policy step changed. An update date audit is a quick way to decide which records need revision before they keep attracting search traffic. ## Start with claim types Scan the record and mark claims as stable, time-bound, interface-bound, or market-bound. Stable claims include definitions and conceptual boundaries. Time-bound claims include deadlines and eligibility periods. Interface-bound claims include button names, menu paths, and API fields. Market-bound claims include prices, rankings, and adoption numbers. ## Compare date to volatility A page from last month can be stale if it describes a UI that changed yesterday. A page from two years ago can still be fine if it explains a historical concept. The audit should judge the claim, not the document age alone. ## Add a visible review note When a record contains volatile claims, add a short review note near the top or near the claim. “Checked for API field names on 2026-06-22” is better than a generic updated timestamp. The note says what was checked. ## Prioritize high-risk stale claims Do not audit every old page equally. Prioritize records that affect money, access, safety, compliance, travel timing, or user trust. A stale styling preference is annoying; a stale eligibility threshold can cause real harm. ## Example workflow 1. Find records with current-year language. 2. Identify the claims that can change. 3. Recheck only those claims against their role-labeled sources. 4. Add a correction trail if meaning changed. The outcome is not a perfect library. It is a library where readers can see which parts are safe to rely on today.
