Corrections and Updates

We correct mistakes in our guides. This page explains how to report one, what we do with the report, and records the corrections we have published.

How to report an error

Email [email protected] with:

• The address of the guide.
• The sentence or step that is wrong.
• What you expected and what happened instead.
• Your browser, device, and, if relevant, a link to a primary source.

We aim to acknowledge reports within five business days. Reports that affect a step people rely on are prioritized.

What we do

An editor reproduces the issue where possible. If the guide is wrong, we correct the text, update the review date, and add an entry to the log below. If the issue is a browser or device quirk, we clarify the conditions rather than assuming every reader will see it. If we cannot reproduce the issue, we say so in our reply and keep the report on file.

Types of change

• Correction — a factual or instructional error was fixed.
• Clarification — the advice was correct but easy to misread.
• Update — the product or a browser changed and the guide was brought up to date.

Correction log

No corrections have been published yet. This log starts with the first documented change under the current editorial process. Entries include the article, the date, the type of change, and a short description.

Publication dates

We do not move a publication date forward to hide an old article. When the substance changes, the review date is updated and the change is logged here. Small copy edits that do not affect meaning are not logged.
