Issue a spec book

0:01Issue a spec book.

0:03Specifications go out in issue sets. Each is numbered, freezes the items as they were, and says what changed since the last one.

0:11For a new set, choose the items: by area, category or status, or check them one by one. Here, everything in the restaurant.

0:21Give it a title, and decide what goes in the book: a cover, an index, pictures, makers. Prices only if you choose.

0:29Make the spec book, and it becomes Issue 3, with its PDF downloaded for you. No one is emailed until you send it.

0:36The book is in your firm’s own look,

0:38with a page for every item: its picture, maker, finishes and instructions.

0:44It’s an ordinary PDF: download it and send it yourself, or edit it further in whichever PDF editor you use. Nothing goes out unless you send it.

0:55When something changes after issue, Issue revision on the item records it as a numbered delta: a revision or an addendum, and why.

1:05The next book marks the item with its delta and shades what changed, so nobody has to hunt for it.

1:12That’s a spec book issued. More videos: portspace.io/videos
