Since there are many, MANY versions of this handbook, this page will host the most up-to-date version of the handbook. So, if you're combing through a version of the handbook for information, please compare it to the version on this page to ensure the information you're reading is correct.
As each new version of the handbook is released, we will provide a list of updates and changes associated with it so older publishers know what to look for. For more helpful information on best practices with SPD, visit our
