It is crucial to note that documents, once created, are immutable, meaning they cannot be altered or changed. However, Paperless provides a feature to amend a document. Amending does not imply editing the original document, but rather, it involves recalling the information from the original document and creating a new version of it. This new version, although based on the original document, is a separate entity and is assigned a unique document number, distinct from the original document’s number. Thus, the integrity of each document is preserved, ensuring accurate record-keeping.
