Fix it upstream
It starts as one small update, and then you find the tangle behind it. Fix everything upstream instead—learn from previous lessons—so everything downstream feeds from the one fixed source.
It always starts small—one little update to one document. And then you pull that thread and find the whole tangle sitting behind it.

Do it once at the root, and it stops coming back.
