version non gérée

English translation: uncontrolled/unregistered copy

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:version non gérée
English translation:uncontrolled/unregistered copy
Entered by: Thomas Miles

Science - IT (Information Technology) / internal user manual
French term or phrase: version non gérée
The text 'Version papier non gérée (sauf original signé)' appears as a footer in a internal user manual concerning a new software system.

I am aware that a member has previously suggested 'unofficial version', but I am not sure how this could co-exist with the signed original. Presumably all hard copies would be identical, and therefore equally official!

As always, thank you.

uncontrolled version
Explanation:
It means the file is not registered in the document control system and thus is not subject to update notification, verifications, etc. See the links for a more detailed description what it is.

Sorry, the paper document, not the file.

Actually, I don't particularly like the word "version" here. More common ways to render it are "uncontrolled when/if/once printed"

Explanation:
Given the proviso "sauf original signé", I think this means that, unless it is signed, the copy has not been included in a register that would list the various paper copies known to be in circulation, so that they could be updated from time to time, either by substituting pages, or by wholesale replacement.

  -> Yes, it is. However, I don't like the expression "uncontrolled copy", because that evokes the image of the document jumping off the shelf, singing and dancing! It also might be rather less easy for a user to understand what it means.
