Trial documentation and study versions

Trial documentation has versions in the same way that a trial does. The version of a set of trial documentation is tied to a study version through the VERSIONDESCRIPTION attribute of the following MedML elements:

If the trial documentation changes after you initially install it, you must update the study version of the trial if you want the new version of the documentation to apply only to new patients.

The VERSIONDESCRIPTION attribute of the trial documentation must match the VERSIONDESCRIPTION attribute of the study version.
