The question is do I have to save the whole database again with the same file reference (eg: Full-EP2018Apr13-113512.csv) or do I rename it to something else to import either the complete file or the few amended ones. What format do you rename it to also?

Sorry to be vague but I have read through the instructions so many times and I still can't manage it.
The "important" part of the filename is everything up to and including the letters EP. Anything after that is up to you. (extension needs to be .csv)

The first part of the filename let's EP4 know what types of fields to expect so that it can process properly.

Don't recall the full feature availability of 4.0.28 with the current version being 4.0.36, but the process is basically logic based. The field list basically needs a single anchor point (primary key) and one column of data to be modified. Every row of data is attempted to be processed from top to bottom.

Your edited data file should look very similar in format to the original saved file if you were to look at each with a plain text editor. Be sure to follow the Open Office or Libre instructions to save as/export the file in UTF8 csv format.
