Sources and current information

Consulted sources

Each lesson source shows when it was consulted for the explanation concerned. The relevant lessons describe their scope. Features and rules can change; check the current source for your own use. Business and practice dossiers and illustrated AI answers are fictional. The source-checking exercise explicitly marked as real uses a public official page.
