The control which you exercise over external documents is somewhat limited. You cannot for instance control the revision of such documents therefore all the requirements concerning document changes will not apply.

When documents become obsolete by total replacement, their withdrawal can also be accomplished with the amendment instruction. However, where a document becomes obsolete and is not replaced there needs to be a Document Withdrawal Notice which informs the custodian of the action to be taken and the reason for withdrawal.

As a practical matter, you may have encountered certificates of correction in your normal patent experience. The corrections made to patent specifications are not made in the patent specifications per se but rather are included as auxiliary sheets placed at the end of the issued patent and provide instructions to the amendments that have been entered into the record. The patent as corrected will have the same legal effect as if the patent had been correctly issued in the first place (35 U.S.C. 254).
