Edit: SWEHBDOC - New Version of SWEHB

Content updates needed on this page: 

  • Finish checklist

As new versions of the NPR are released, new SWEHB versions are built and released. Each new release of the SWEHB is contained in its own space on the Confluence Server. At a high level, as each SWEHB version is built the following maintenance is performed on the new space:

This page is being built as the SWEHBVE space is being constructed. It contains a checklist of things that have been done and things that need to be done to bring the new SWEHB online. 


A Development page for the new version is being created in parallel with this new version. The development page is Dev Area For New Version Of SWEHB - SWEHBVE. It will be referenced in the checklist as necessary. 

10.1 New Versions of the SWEHBVE and NPR 7150.2E

As the new NPR is created, SWEs and Topics may be added or removed. Updates to pages in SWEHBVD will continue. The copying of most pages to SWEHBVE will be done late in September 2025 to ensure that duplicate work (updating to synchronize SWEHBVD and SWEHBVE) can be minimized.
