Review before you publish

A final review protects data quality, user adoption and reporting accuracy.

Test with sample data

Run the full workflow with realistic records and confirm that each state, notification and handoff behaves correctly.

Verify permissions

Confirm that every role sees only the information and actions required for their responsibilities.

Document the decision

Record naming, ownership and governance choices so the workspace remains consistent as the team grows.
