Preserve the board-pack version prepared for a meeting, with its contents and separate circulation records. Keep your original source records together, then date the exact files. It does not establish who received or read the pack, informed decision-making, consent, a valid resolution, accurate financial statements or compliance.

Your photos and files stay on your device, so keep them.

Now keep it safe: three things
  1. Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
  2. Save this receipt to your camera roll.

    Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.

  3. Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

    Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

      How to keep notes that hold up

      Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.

      1. Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
      2. Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
      3. Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
      4. Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
      5. Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

      United States — Delaware · 1985

      Read merger papers before approving the deal

      Directors approved a merger without enough information, and copies of the deal came too late for study. The appeal court overturned their trial win. It sent the case back to assess value, without setting a final payment.

      Directors had to read and question the accounts

      Directors failed to read and question accounts with serious errors. The court found that they had broken their duties. It left penalties and other orders for a later hearing.

      Proves / Doesn’t prove

      Proves

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

      Doesn’t prove

      It does not establish who received or read the pack, informed decision-making, consent, a valid resolution, accurate financial statements or compliance.

      It does not establish who received or read the pack, informed decision-making, consent, a valid resolution, accurate financial statements or compliance.

      Questions, answered plainly.

      Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.

      Does a dated pack prove it was circulated?

      No. BoardPro's current help explicitly distinguishes publishing a pack from notifying recipients. Keep actual circulation and access records separately.

      Is a board pack the same as the minutes?

      No. Section 248 specifically requires records of directors' meeting proceedings and ten-year retention. A preserved reading pack does not replace the meeting minutes.

      What should an archive preserve when documents change?

      Keep the exact export and manifest for the version in question, with later versions separately identified. Boardlogic's current pack feature can replace an existing file for users, so the live view and an earlier export may differ.

      Does a preserved pack establish an informed board decision?

      No. The historical Delaware decision concerned information available for review, including agreement copies arriving too late. File existence alone does not show that review occurred.
