Final version / authoritative record

The official version you would point to if asked "what did we decide?" Make sure finals are saved where others can find them, and that it is clear which version is authoritative.

In practice

The authoritative record is the version you would point to if asked 'what did we decide?'. Make sure finals are saved where others can find them rather than only in personal storage, and where several 'finals' exist, make clear which one is authoritative.
