reviseable

Reviseable is an adjective used to describe something that can be revised, amended, or updated. It applies to texts, plans, contracts, policies, datasets, or software configurations that are not considered final and are intended to be modified as new information becomes available or as requirements change.

In publishing, drafting, and policy development, marking a document as reviseable signals that edits, additions, or deletions are expected or permitted. In legal and administrative contexts, reviseable documents are typically governed by versioning rules, amendment provisions, and a record of changes to track how content evolves over time. Digital systems often implement reviseability through version control, revision history, or writable drafts. Strong governance, access controls, and change-management procedures help determine who may revise and how changes are validated before becoming final.

The term is commonly used interchangeably with revisable, amendable, or modifiable, though spelling preferences may vary by region or organization. Reviseability does not imply that revisions are automatic or frequent; it simply denotes the underlying property that the item can be altered in the future. In contrast, items described as irrevisable or immutable are intended to be fixed or finalized and resistant to modification once released.
