A buyer may keep a price-list link from a supplier in Ümraniye and pass it to a colleague weeks later. A revised document can change the price of a product without changing its reference. Use two fictional revisions to check that someone starting with the earlier link can identify the list they need.
Label the period covered by each list
Give the list a visible revision date and state when its prices apply. Put the currency and the relevant sales unit near the price. If the list covers a particular customer group or order size, describe that scope at the top so readers can tell whether it applies to them.
Follow a saved link after updating the current list
In the test copy, publish a new list with a revised price and open the earlier link from an email. Check that the reader can identify which revision opened and find the current version. Ask a colleague to make the same check from a saved file, where the website link might be the only way back.
Walk a sample reference from list to enquiry
Pick a fictional reference that appears in both revisions with a different price. Ask a visitor to find the current figure and send a test enquiry. Make sure the receiving team can see which reference and list the visitor used. Check the response wording when the price has changed since their copy was shared.
Record what the editor should verify next time
Keep the old address, new address, dates, changed references and person responsible in one record. Check the same item in English and French with the same quantities and currency. Repeat the checks when a revision is published.
