Body of Knowledge ContentVery simple questions

• Where are my documents now?

• Editorial and review cycle– Are documents not required anymore?– If documents are created, are they by-products or finished goods?– How to review the content– When do I know I’m finished with the review?

• If the master copy of the content is online, can I have it as a document too?
