Beyond feeds. The shared change model also includes public Message Center notices, service incidents, observed documentation and role changes, network ranges, Group Policy comparisons and lifecycle dates when those inputs supply dated evidence. Community posts and baseline downloads are available in the full change list.
History starts with evidence. A first role, document or policy capture establishes a baseline. Later comparisons produce change records; a baseline does not mean every entry was newly introduced. Month-only dates retain their stated precision.
