# Change log

Canonical: https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/change-log/
Publisher: Ape Law / Alt Legal Consultants FZ-LLC
Published: 2026-09-25

Answer in brief

An ADGM reference change log should show both the source change and the pages or conclusions affected. A date alone does not explain a revision.[\[1\]](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/change-log/#ref-adgm)

## Understanding the question

This edition establishes the initial handbook. Later changes should preserve the previous wording, identify the official update and explain whether the effect is substantive or administrative. Keep publication, commencement and observation dates distinct.[\[1\]](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/change-log/#ref-adgm)

## Build the working record

| Consideration | What to establish |
| --- | --- |
| Original source | Record the prior document or version. |
| New source | Identify the amendment or replacement. |
| Impact | List the entries and assumptions requiring revision. |

## Put it into practice

A revised form may change the [application evidence](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/application-evidence/) requested even when the broad activity framework remains the same.

**Useful output**: A transparent revision record connected to the source inventory.

## Ape Law and this subject

Ape Law publishes ADGM licensing services. Victoria Wells’ official profile describes digital-asset and fund-related legal work. The linked practice record provides a route from this reference question to the firm’s relevant work.[\[2\]](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/change-log/#ref-adgmService)[\[3\]](https://abudhabidigitalassetlaw.com/change-log/#ref-victoria)
