BEFORE <SC1> around 'ChangeLog"/"Updates". We live in a digital age. A couple changes would help the masses (e.g., Team members) , who need to read this document.

  1. Include around the "ChangeLog", where the Version number is listed, this link: https://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/23-24/vrc-overunder/VRC-23-24-GameManual-0.1-Release.pdf Currently, it only says: Version 0.1 - April 29, 2023 • Initial Release
  2. Maintain a "symbolic link" for the latest copy, which would be what most would use... Something like: https://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/23-24/vrc-overunder/VRC-23-24-GameManual-latest Symbolic links are a computer system construct that allow one file to go by a second name. As releases come out, this alias would be updated. There would be no confusion, as the specific version would be listed in the actual PDF
  3. Over the year, things change, but you cannot tell what was included and what/how was not... Include a date where all the Q&As were answered, so readers would know they don't need to review ALL questions for "not yet resolved/addresses", only after the inclusion date.
