Maintain a policy or controlled document

E011 min readUpdated 28 October 2026

Entry: Proof > Policies. Who: Document owner and authorised approver.

  1. Create a draft with title, category, document type, owner, version and review cycle. Enter summary/content and link the framework or related controlled documents where relevant.
  2. Attach/select the source or signed document. Check that the displayed body and source refer to the intended version.
  3. Obtain the required review and use Approve with the requested approval/version details.
  4. Check the approved state and calculated next-review date. A deliberate date correction can use the edit field; do not change dates simply to remove overdue flags.
  5. For an existing current or overdue document, use Start review, update through the permitted controls and approve the reviewed version. Archive only under the organisation's retention process.

Complete when: Staff can identify the owner, approved version, source and next review. An approval record is distinct from staff acknowledgement or training completion; do not assume the application distributes the policy automatically.
