How our guides are maintained
Software changes constantly, so every guide carries three dates: when it was published, when it was last updated, and when the information was last verified against official sources. When a guide mentions pricing, plan limits, or eligibility rules, it links to the official page where you can confirm the current terms. If you spot something outdated, let us know — corrections are part of the process, and our editorial policy explains how we research and label everything we publish.
