Digital Pulse Brief / Reader trust
Corrections Policy & Updates.
Tech instructions can change. Sometimes a detail slips through. When something on Digital Pulse Brief is wrong, unclear or no longer works, readers deserve a straightforward way to tell us—and a clear explanation of what happens next.
Report an issue ↓Our corrections policy, in plain English.
We publish practical advice for phones, computers, apps and everyday tech problems. An incorrect setting name or an old troubleshooting step can waste your time—or cause problems you didn’t have before. If something we’ve published doesn’t make sense or no longer matches your device, please tell us.
When we identify a meaningful error, we aim to check it against reliable evidence, correct the affected content and make the change understandable to readers. We do not treat a new software release and a mistake in our original reporting as the same thing.
This page explains our approach. Our wider sourcing, testing and independence standards are covered in the Editorial Policy.
What counts as a correction?
Not every change means the original article was wrong. We distinguish the reason for a change whenever it matters to the reader.
Factual corrections
Incorrect instructions, specifications, dates, product names, compatibility claims or statements that could give readers a wrong impression.
Clarifications
Wording that is technically accurate but confusing, incomplete or missing an important condition, warning or limitation.
Software and product updates
Changes to menus, interfaces, supported devices, product availability or troubleshooting steps after an app or operating system changes.
We check the problem, not just the wording.
For technical guidance, context is often the difference between a reliable fix and a misleading one. A step may work on one version of iOS or Windows and fail on another.
When a report warrants investigation, we use available primary sources and, where practical, hands-on checks rather than assuming that the first explanation is correct.
Identify the exact claim
We look at the page, the reported sentence or step, and any device, software version or region mentioned.
Compare with evidence
We check relevant manufacturer documentation, product release information or other dependable references. Where possible, we verify the steps ourselves and distinguish direct testing from research.
Make the appropriate change
We may fix an error, add missing context, revise outdated instructions, or withdraw advice that cannot be supported.
Tell readers what changed
When a change materially affects the facts, meaning, safety or usefulness of an article, we aim to add a visible note explaining the correction or update.
How changes appear in an article.
Corrections and clarifications
When a significant factual error is corrected, the article should explain the substance of the change so returning readers are not left guessing. A clarification may identify the added context or limitation.
Minor spelling, punctuation and formatting fixes that do not alter the meaning may be made without a separate notice.
Substantial updates and withdrawals
For meaningful changes caused by new software or product information, we aim to identify the relevant date and what changed. If the core of a published article proves unreliable, a prominent notice, substantial rewrite or withdrawal may be more appropriate than a quiet edit.
We do not want a changed publication date on its own to imply that every instruction has been retested.
Spelling, broken formatting or a harmless typo: normally corrected directly.
A wrong step, claim or specification: correct the substance and explain the important change.
Updated interface, operating system or product information: revise the relevant guidance and indicate the new context.
A working fix today may need another look tomorrow.
Technology changes faster than many articles can be rewritten. A phone setting can move, an app may remove an option, or a software update can make an old workaround unnecessary.
We aim to make version-dependent instructions clear, review credible reader reports and update affected guidance when new evidence warrants it. If a step has not been retested on the latest release, we should not imply otherwise.

Questions readers often have.
Will every message receive a personal reply?
We appreciate every good-faith report and aim to review substantive concerns. We cannot promise an individual reply or a fixed response time for every message.
Will you always change an article when someone disagrees?
No. A disagreement alone does not establish an error. We consider available evidence and may leave accurate material unchanged, while clarifying it if the original wording caused reasonable confusion.
Can I report an old or broken tutorial?
Yes. Please include the article link and, where possible, your device and software version. An outdated step is worth reporting even when it was correct when first published. You can browse our All Articles archive to find the guide in question.
