DATA QUALITY · Workflow idea

Make authorized spreadsheet tabs, selected export fields, and proposed email recipients easier to review before information is shared or changed.

For an authorized purpose, prepare a scoped spreadsheet export for the data owner to review before sharing. A file export can include hidden, personal, or confidential fields and may be forwarded beyond its intended audience. Confirm authority and purpose, inspect selected tabs and columns, protect the exported file, verify each recipient, and require an owner to approve the exact attachment and destination before sending. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
