CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) — Question 14

A publishing group has requested a dashboard to track submissions before publication. A key requirement is that all changes are tracked, as multiple users will be checking out documents and editing them before submissions are considered final. Which of the following is the BEST way to meet this stakeholder requirement?

Answer options

• A. Display the version number next to each submission on the dashboard.
• B. Present a data refresh date at the top of the dashboard.
• C. Confirm the dashboard is adhering to the corporate style guide.
• D. Use permissions to ensure users only see certain versions of the submissions.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Displaying the version number next to each submission on the dashboard allows users to easily identify the latest changes made to documents, which directly addresses the requirement for tracking modifications. The other options do not provide a clear method for tracking changes: showing a data refresh date does not indicate content changes, adhering to a style guide is unrelated to version tracking, and using permissions limits visibility rather than tracking changes.
