Creating a new manual version after a compliance update
Every approved compliance change creates an auditable trail. Flight Lyceum automatically versions your manuals so you always have a clear record of what changed, when, and who approved it.
Versions created automatically
When you approve an AI-generated update from the review queue, Flight Lyceum automatically creates a new version of the affected manual with the approved changes applied. You don't need to manually trigger this: it happens as part of the approval workflow.
Creating a manual version manually
You can also create a new version at any time to record a manual revision that you made outside the system.
- 1Open the manual in Flight Books.
- 2Click the version history icon (clock icon) in the top right.
- 3Click Save current version.
- 4Enter a version label (e.g. 'Rev 4.3') and optional change notes.
- 5Click Save.
Tip: Version labels are searchable, so use a consistent naming convention: the ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) or your school's existing revision numbering works well.
Viewing version history
Every manual has a complete version history accessible from its detail view. You can see the change log for each version, who approved it, and compare any two versions side-by-side.
Downloading a specific version
You can download any version of a manual: not just the current one. This is useful when you need to provide a specific revision to an authority or auditor.
- 1Open the manual's version history.
- 2Find the version you need.
- 3Click Download PDF next to that version.
Rolling back to a previous version
If an approved change needs to be reversed, you can roll back the manual to any previous version.
- 1Open the manual's version history.
- 2Click the version you want to restore.
- 3Click Restore this version.
- 4Confirm the rollback: this creates a new version that is identical to the selected one.
Note: Rolling back doesn't delete the intervening versions: they remain in the history. The rollback itself is recorded as a new version entry.
