When requirements are updated within the same MDS version, in the [metadata](#requirement-metadata) section, increment the `file_version` value by one and update the `last_updated` timestamp. Though not required, you may choose to use the `start_date` and `end_date` fields in the [programs](#requirement-programs) section to keep retired requirements accessible. We also recommend hosting your requirements file in a location that has a publicly-accessible version history, like GitHub or Bitbucket, or keeping previous versions accessible with a versioned URL, e.g. "https://mds.cityname.gov/requirements/1.2.0/v3".
