Make sure staff work from the version that was actually approved

A regulated company manages policy documents through shared drives and email attachments, so staff sometimes work from an outdated version that was never actually approved. Build a system where "current" means approved, and superseded means archived—not deleted and forgotten.

A shared drive has no concept of "approved"

File modification dates tell you when something changed, not whether anyone signed off on it. Without a review-and-approval gate before publication, "the latest file" and "the approved version" can quietly become two different things.

Route every document through review before it becomes current, and track who has actually acknowledged reading it.

From draft to acknowledgment
  1. 1. A document is drafted and routed for review
  2. 2. Reviewers comment and approve or request changes
  3. 3. Approved document is published as the current version
  4. 4. Affected staff acknowledge they've read it
  5. 5. Superseded versions are archived, not deleted
