Content Review Policy
How we keep published articles accurate as products, standards, and best practices evolve.
Technology changes fast. An accurate article published 18 months ago may no longer reflect the current state of a platform, certification, or standard. SoftwareMarketplace.Net reviews published content on a structured schedule to make sure what readers find on our site reflects what is true today.
Review cadence
- Pillar guides: reviewed at least every 12 months and after any major version change of the underlying product.
- Tutorials and implementation guides: reviewed every 9 months and after any breaking change to the SDK, API, or platform they describe.
- Software reviews: re-tested at least annually and after any major release of the reviewed product.
- Comparisons: reviewed every 12 months and when any compared product undergoes a material change.
- News and analysis: reviewed only when readers report an inaccuracy or when material new information emerges.
How we mark updates
Every article displays a "Published" date and a "Last updated" date in its byline. Substantive updates trigger an Editor's Note at the top of the article describing what changed and why.
Retirement
Articles that no longer have a useful answer to give — for example, comparisons of products that have been discontinued — are either rewritten, redirected to an updated article, or, in rare cases, removed with a note explaining the change.
