The need to distinguish current and superseded documents is partly met when a planning-application-document record can point to the earlier document record it replaces. This makes document succession explicit within a planning application and helps users trace which later document displaced which earlier one.

This is only a partial satisfaction because replaces alone does not fully identify the current document in every chain, explain what changed between versions, or cover more complex versioning cases such as one document being replaced by several later documents.
