Each area has an About profile — a stack of sections describing the supported person. Common sections include "Background", "Communication", "Medical", "Daily routine", "Behaviours of concern", "Likes and dislikes".
What's on every section
Title and body — body uses the rich-text editor (bold, lists, images, tables, links).
Folder — optional. Related sections can be grouped (e.g. "Health", "Lifestyle").
Read receipts — every user who has marked the latest revision as read appears on the section's "Read by" list.
Audit trail — every revision is preserved as a separate row. Auditors can browse exactly what was documented and when.
Versioned, not editable in place
Editing a section doesn't overwrite the original — it creates a new revision. The latest revision is what staff see by default. Older revisions are accessible from the section's history. See Revising an About section.

Note — There is no separate "draft" or "publish" step — saving an About section makes it live immediately for everyone with access to the area. Be thoughtful before you save.
