What identifies changes to the Compendium in the amendment pages?

The identification of changes to the Compendium in the amendment pages is marked by a unique symbol and a corresponding effective date. This method provides a clear and straightforward way for users to understand what revisions have been made and when they became effective. This is crucial for anyone using the Compendium, as it ensures users are referencing the most current and applicable regulations.

Including a unique symbol helps to differentiate amendment pages easily, allowing users to spot changes without having to sift through extensive text. The effective date serves as a critical reference point; it informs users when the changes were placed into effect, enabling them to ensure compliance with the most up-to-date standards. This systematic approach enhances clarity and reliability in interpreting the adjustments made to the Compendium.

In contrast, other options describe methods that do not typically serve this specific function of clearly marking amendments. A detailed narrative explanation would provide context but might not emphasize when changes take effect. A summary list of previous versions focuses more on historical context rather than current changes. A color coding system, while potentially helpful for quick reference, does not directly relate to identifying specific amendments and their effective dates.
