How it has changed
Where it went
This quote has not gone to anybody. Nothing is recorded as sent, which is a different thing from sent and unanswered.
For an offer you sent yourself. Next it asks who at the company, any forwarder copied on an email, and which of your messages carried it; the time it went is the time of that message, or the time you record it.
Proforma
For a buyer who pays before shipment: the lines, the incoterm and place, the total and our payment instructions, payable in full before shipment, as a PDF in the buyer's Drive folder. Nothing is sent.
What was taken from it
Nobody has taken an order off this quote.
Change it
A change keeps the number and takes the next letter, and this revision is kept whole with everyone it went to. A different market is not a change: the lane, the freight and the buyers all differ, so that is a new quote with a new number. This quote is retired; changing it makes a live revision of it.
