I am thinking this is probably a case of preference, but I wanted to get some advice. I completed my first full draft recently - and I have a lot of helpful feedback. I have a lot to do on it, primarily in terms of structure and writing depth.

Would you advise starting a new document and copying over into a new structure and writing as I go, or editing the existing document?

The concerns I have are:

1. Will my cross references stay valid in a new document (recent word version)
2. Sometimes I find myself editing one section and finding that I have just said something different - or that related to a slightly different section.

Thanks for the help.
