4. The order of the information in a modified [crypto-asset](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/mica/crypto-asset) white paper and, where applicable, in modified marketing communications, shall be consistent with that of the crypto-asset white paper or marketing communications published in accordance with [Article 9](/mica/title-ii-crypto-assets-other-than-asset-referenced-tokens-or-e-money-tokens-art.-4-15/article-9.md).
5.

7. The modified crypto-asset white paper and, where applicable, the modified marketing communications, shall be time-stamped. The most recent modified crypto-asset white paper and, where applicable, the modified marketing communications shall be marked as the applicable version. All modified crypto-asset white papers and, where applicable, modified marketing communications shall remain available for as long as the crypto-assets are held by the public.
8. Where the [offer to the public](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/mica/offer-to-the-public) concerns a [utility token](https://www.mica.wtf/definitions/definitions/mica/utility-token) providing access to goods and services that do not yet exist or are not yet in operation, changes made in the modified crypto-asset white paper and, where applicable, the modified marketing communications, shall not extend the time limit of 12 months referred to in [Article 4(6)](/mica/title-ii-crypto-assets-other-than-asset-referenced-tokens-or-e-money-tokens-art.-4-15/article-4.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://www.mica.wtf/mica/title-ii-crypto-assets-other-than-asset-referenced-tokens-or-e-money-tokens-art.-4-15/article-12.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
