Physical documents and online documents are similar in the way that you can get information on a certain topic but depending on which one you view, the information may not be accurate. Physical documents are usually written by a person who is professional in that topic and the document is revised then published depending on its accuracy. If a person was viewing a physical document, he/she shouldn't have to worry on whether or not it is legit as they will see the author of the document and at most times, references the author uses.
Online documents can be written by anybody on the web so the reader has to be aware that the information they see can be false. Some online documents do not have an author, but the ones that do are usually from a credible site. You should be able to determine whether or not an online document has legit information by the website its on and the references the author uses. Also, most online documents are regularly updated and that would probably be the biggest difference between physical and online documents. The author of an online document has much more control over their document, whether it be editing, moving, or deleting at any time; which an author of a physical document cannot do once their document is published.
