The editorial decision
For each evergreen article, identify the facts most likely to change. These may include product availability, provider documentation, pricing, regulations or the location of a linked resource. Assign a review trigger and an owner. A calendar review can help, but it should not replace event-driven updates when a material change is known. Leave stable explanations alone when there is no substantive reason to rewrite them.
A working method
When updating, record what was checked and what changed. Distinguish an editorial improvement from a correction of an earlier error. Update the visible date only in a way that accurately describes the work performed, and keep relevant publication history where it helps readers. Check related pages for the same outdated claim. An article maintenance system becomes more efficient when one evidence update identifies all affected content, rather than relying on each page to be rediscovered independently.
Hypothetical example
A provider changes its eligibility information. The editor checks the source, updates the affected guide and records the scope of the change. Related comparison pages are reviewed at the same time, while unrelated articles retain their existing dates because their substance has not changed.
Make it practical.
