I believe in reading the guide many times a year or at least to check for reference I usually consult the guide on average twice a month Saving Changes...
I consult it at least once per week and read it cover-to-cover when it was first released last September as I had to prepare & deliver a webinar on the changes. I also thoroughly read the draft release as one of the (multiple) reviewers back in late 2016 (or was it early 2017?).

I beg to differ with you on this point. I can go back and read certain KA’s or sections but as for reading it all, I read it once only. I consult with the book frequently for sure.
Different point of views my friend, doesn’t make either of us wrong. Everyone does things as needed fo them.
Never cover to cover. Still refer more to the previous version, with my highlights and notes. Those I can’t transfert to the new version that is lock.
So refer more to previous version.
Vincent, you mean 5th edition and 6th edition, I think the new one is more latest with changes and improvement so for me to keep updated I need to read the latest version Saving Changes...
Thanks to all participated in this to see how we deal with the guide and to learn to keep reading and referring to articles as needed. Saving Changes...
