A shade changes.
The earlier acceptance stays intact.
The clinic submits A2.
The laboratory reviews the instruction and accepts revision 1.
The clinic requests A3.
A new revision records the change. The earlier accepted instruction remains in history.
The laboratory reviews again.
Renewed acceptance identifies the exact revision before work continues.
The same record makes it possible to answer “Which instruction was accepted?” without reconstructing the decision from separate messages.
