In 4.2.3 Control of Documents ISO 9001:2000 section c – “to ensure that changes and the current revision status of documents are identified”
My question is this – how far back do I need to track the changes within a procedure or instruction. The reason I ask is MS Word tracks changes nicely, but once you start doing multiple changes over time it gets messy. The standard does not state explicitly that all changes from the original on must be tracked. One could argue that change(s) means all the changes for the current revision.
What if I only keep the current changes from the previous revision, will this pass an audit? Thanks for your thoughts.

I need to take off my ISO 13485 hat.
