Current and kept pages
Keep the original sheet with its exact job/view/version marker. Revise another current sheet. Compare each of the eight complete fields; label which two versions the comparison describes. After a current edit, view change, replacing Keep or new job, mark the old comparison obsolete. Request a new comparison from the actual sheets. Ordinary edits/view changes preserve the kept version. Confirming a new current job leaves kept work labelled with its original job; cancelling changes nothing. Restore copies all kept words/job/view to a new current sheet and retires the old comparison. Paper stays paper: obsolete does not mean erased or destroyed. Stop or keep it private.
