Correction trail — nullvuild

A correction trail is the short record that explains what changed in a source, when it changed, and why a reader should trust the newer wording.

It matters when a help article, pricing page, API limit, policy note, research summary, or product comparison is corrected after people have already quoted it. A bare link is not enough because the current page may no longer show the sentence that shaped the earlier decision. A useful trail preserves the previous claim, the new claim, the change date, the source owner, and the practical effect on the reader.

The goal is not to archive every word. The goal is to make the correction auditable without forcing someone to search screenshots, cached pages, old emails, and chat threads. For example, “price limit changed from monthly cap to per-seat cap on June 24; update renewal checklist” is clearer than “docs changed.”

A correction trail should also mark uncertainty. If the source removed a claim without explaining why, say that. If two official pages disagree, keep both links and name the conflict. If a third-party summary repeats the old version, note that it may lag behind. This prevents the trail from becoming another unsupported claim.

The practical test is simple: a reader who did not see the original page should still understand what changed, whether the new source is primary, and what action needs review.
