HOW CHANGES ARE HANDLED
Every material update will state:
1. the version number and release date;
2. the lessons or tabs affected;
3. what changed and why;
4. whether an existing working copy needs action;
5. known limitations.
Before replacing a working copy, keep a backup. Do not paste new formulas into an active file without checking references. Formula outputs do not validate source quality, and worked examples remain fictional and educational.
If you suspect a problem, post in Questions with the tab, cell, expected behaviour and a fictional reproduction case. Do not share holdings, account values or personal financial details.
