EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare merged and externally visible product changes, supporting records, and draft release notes with clear sources, limits, and a human sign-off.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a plain-language changelog draft from approved changes for a product editor. A merged change may be internal, security-sensitive, or not yet released, and a draft can overstate impact. Confirm release status with the product owner, exclude confidential details, verify claims against the shipped change, preserve source links, and require editorial approval before customer distribution. Use only necessary information, explain retention, respect consent and source rights, verify material details, and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.
