Keep notes current

Answers are only as good as the notes behind them. Thread keeps track of when a person last confirmed a note, and tells you when an answer relies on one that may be out of date.

In a note’s ··· menu

• Mark as verified — you checked it and it’s still right.
• Review by… — pick a date to check it again (e.g. a contract or a price list).
• Mark as outdated — keep it for the record, but stop treating it as current.

Nothing is shown for an ordinary note. A small label appears only when there is something to know: Outdated, Review due, or Not checked in 14 months (a year without being verified or edited), with a Verify link next to it.

What changes in answers

• Sourced answer statements include citations; statements the verifier cannot support are removed or flagged for review.
• Outdated notes are left out when you ask how things are now, and still used when you ask about the past.
• When an answer relies on a note that’s due for review or hasn’t been confirmed in a year, the answer says so.
