Is Inventory of assets a document or a record?

Can you please help me understand why "Inventory of assets" is listed as a mandatory ISO 27001 "document" instead of "record" on this page

Answer:

The purpose of a record is to evidence a previous situation, that an action was performed, and/or a result was achieved, so to be of use it cannot be changed over time (at least it shouldn't). On the other hand a document contains information that can be changed over time, and an inventory of assets is a living document that must be continuously updated to be of value for an organization.
