EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Prepare a careful first pass at an approved brief, source material, editorial criteria, and proposed revisions—then verify it.

Prepare an approved brief, source material, editorial criteria, and proposed revisions as a private review draft for an accountable owner. Revision can introduce unsupported facts, remove important qualifications, or borrow protected wording. Confirm source and reuse rights, verify claims and quotations, protect unpublished work, preserve material uncertainty, and require an editor to approve the final draft before sharing or publication. Use only necessary, authorized information; explain retention; respect consent and source rights; verify material details; and keep external or consequential actions under accountable human approval.
