1
Open the proposed change
Use the decision link from the work record, HQ or Approvals. Confirm that it belongs to the expected company and task.
2
Check every affected record
Read the operation, product or other target, and every field being changed. For a batch, review the whole batch rather than a representative item.
3
Check the reason and risk
Verify source facts and policy. Read the reversal information. Ask for revisions if the proposal contains unsupported claims or an incorrect destination.
4
Make the decision
Approve only the version you have reviewed, or reject it. If your role cannot decide, use the appropriate company approver; do not try to bypass the control through conversation.
5
Read the receipt
Check which operations completed. Treat partial and uncertain outcomes explicitly. Resolve those before repeating work.
Example
A proposal updates a product’s title and description. The description is correct, but the title changes the model number. Reject or revise the proposal before approval; an otherwise useful draft is not a reason to accept an incorrect field.If something changed during review
A newer product value or an edited proposal can invalidate the reviewed version. Reopen the current proposal and check it again. Earlier approval is not permission for unseen changes.Before you start
Have the correct company, a current proposed change and access to the evidence behind it. You need an account permitted to decide; some changes require a second approver or an additional sign-in check. Do not ask a colleague to approve from a detached screenshot when they can inspect the current proposal itself.Check what confirmation will do
The review uses Approve and Reject. In Kina, a supported confirmation can both approve and make the change. Elsewhere, approval can be followed by a separate Make the change control, or Send to your helpdesk for an eligible helpdesk operation. Before confirming, read what that particular step will do. If the proposal is only accepted for editorial review, that does not approve media rights, publication or campaign spend. If the change is approved but not made, the view can state that it has not been made in the provider yet. Use View receipt to inspect the detailed operation and result. If a request has an uncertain outcome, Check status can be offered instead of an immediate repeated execution. Follow that recovery path.Worked review: three product descriptions
North Coast Goods has a batch covering three products. Two descriptions use verified materials and care facts. The third replaces “cotton blend” with “100% cotton”.
Retain the blend description unless a verified source proves the exact composition. You can continue refining the draft internally without authorising an incorrect store change.
