What is the difference between a prototype PCB and a production PCB?

My project have gone through from design, prototype to mass production after lots of discussion and adjustment. Now the manufacturer are making our products in their product lines. And I would like to know is there any differences between the prototypes in my hand now and the final products output by the manufacturer?

In common, a prototype board is the same as the production board unless it is assembled by a different company or production line. If any problems are found in the prototype, the design will be fixed before production is started.

What I would like to know is if ICs also have a limited shelf life and if so, do some types suffer more than others?

I forgot a resistor on my PCB prototype – how do I add one in?

I need to add a resistor into a data line on my project. The data line is a trace and carries low speed data. A through-hole resistor will be fine. The pins for both ends of the trace are exposed, but how do I add the resistor and remove the trace?
