Version
A work-in-progress iteration of a document, still under development and subject to change before formal release. Versions may be numbered sequentially (v1, v2, v3) within a revision cycle.
Why it matters
Distinguishing versions from revisions prevents unauthorized changes from reaching production and keeps the audit trail clean during the design process.
