Revisionsgepflegte

Revisionsgepflegte is a German compound adjective used to describe documents, records, software, or processes that have undergone formal revision and are kept up to date. The term combines Revision, meaning a review or amendment, with gepflegt, meaning cared for or maintained. In practice, it signals that the item has an explicit revision history and ongoing updates to reflect current standards or requirements.

Grammatical note: when placed before a feminine noun, it appears as revisionsgepflegte; for masculine or neuter nouns or with different articles, other inflections apply (revisionsgepflegter Prozess, revisionsgepflegtes Dokument).

Contexts and implications: the expression is common in administrative, auditing, quality management, and archival contexts. It denotes reliability, traceability, and governance through documented revision cycles. It is not a synonym for revidiert (revised) or überarbeitet (reworked); rather, revisionsgepflegt emphasizes ongoing maintenance and formal control of revision history.

Examples: Die revisionsgepflegte Dokumentation enthält alle Revisionen und den aktuellen Stand. Die revisionsgepflegten Unterlagen erfüllen die Archivierungsanforderungen. Das Team nutzt revisionsgepflegte Prozesse, um Audit-Trails zu gewährleisten.
