March 2025

Connect templates together, with Work Instructions

Piece together templates to create a long workflow.

Change Sets: managing your drafts and published documents

A change set is a collection of drafts and related entities undergoing changes together.

All entities in the same change set are reviewed together — all review requirements from included entities are combined.

Improved Review Requirements

We've improved review requirements to how it can be configured and executed, such as:

• On templates, you can now set minimum review requirements that all instances of that template must meet.

• When you request a review, each requirement that has been set becomes a phase in the review process. You can then:

  • Select who from each role to notify, or ‘notify all’

  • Re-order the phases

  • Add new phases

View changes between drafts and latest published versions

Compare your current draft with its latest published version within your Change set.

All changes are also documented in the audit log.
