Separate current navigation from historical references
Synthetic guide G-331 is retired after verified replacement G-332 covers the same export task. Active help navigation can point to G-332. An older resolved case cited G-331 at the time and retains that historical reference with retirement status. Guide G-333 concerns login and is not a suitable replacement despite being active. The fixture records link dispositions without claiming a redirect or editing any website.
| Reference | Purpose | Candidate target | Disposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active help entry | Current export instructions | G-332 same task | Update current entry |
| Resolved case T-33 | Historical instruction evidence | Original G-331 | Retain with retired status |
| Proposed replacement | Current export instructions | G-333 login | Reject unrelated replacement |
Review the purpose of each reference
- List current and historical references
- Verify replacement task coverage
- Update appropriate current entries
- Retain historical evidence with status
If no suitable replacement exists, record that gap; do not point every reference to a generic help homepage and call it resolved.
Should T-33’s historical reference be rewritten as G-332?
Show the worked answer
No. It used G-331 at that time. Keep that evidence and the retirement status; current help navigation may separately use G-332.
Resolve active reference gaps before retirement. Historical references should preserve which instructions were available when the case was handled.
