To update requirements documentation without breaking dependency links, apply surgical revisions that preserve existing IDs and dependency edges while incorporating new stakeholder feedback and implementation findings into the evolving project document.

Maintaining an audit trail when shifting stakeholder priorities requires automatically logging all deletions, modifications, and priority shifts to ensure a clear revision history of evolving requirements documentation.

To detect contradictions between new and existing requirements, perform a consistency audit that flags conflicting changes and identifies stale documentation or episodes during the requirements refinement process.

Yes, you can add new acceptance criteria and revise existing ones while preserving historical context, as the refinement process ensures consistency across linked artifacts and validates against existing requirement constraints.

You should refine requirements instead of rewriting when new scenarios emerge, implementation discoveries expose gaps, or stakeholder priorities shift, requiring updates that maintain strict ID and dependency integrity without losing historical context.
