Identifying Revised Material

A revision to a page is defined as any change to the printed matter that existed previously.
Revisions, additions and deletions are identified by a vertical line (i.e. - change bar) along the left-
hand margin of the page opposite only that portion of the printed matter that was changed.
A change bar in the left-hand margin opposite the footer (i.e. - chapter/section/subject, page
number and date), indicates that the text was unchanged but the material was relocated to a
different page.
Example.
NOTE: Change bars are not used in the title pages, list of effective pages, or index.

Indexing
