AYSA Execution
Content Approval Workflow
A content approval workflow is a documented sequence that moves a draft through evidence checks, assigned review, explicit decision, publication and post-publication verification.
What it means
A useful workflow records who can approve which risk, what evidence they saw, the exact version approved and what happens after rejection. For AI-assisted content, it also preserves production context and any role-specific disclosure assessment.
Why it matters
A generic Approved label cannot prove which text or sources were reviewed. Versioned decisions prevent later edits from inheriting an approval they never received and create a reliable rollback point.
Example
A legal-adjacent article moves from generated draft to factual review, subject-matter review and named Editorial Approval; publication is blocked when any cited source changes after approval.
Common mistakes
Do not allow self-approval for every risk, approve a moving draft, treat a checkbox as evidence of meaningful review or claim the workflow alone proves AI Act compliance.
How AYSA handles this
Signals reviewed
draft version, required reviewer, source status, approval decision, publication version
Problem AYSA can identify
AYSA can block supported execution when a required review is missing, stale or attached to a different content version.
Recommendation prepared
The workflow assigns reviewers by risk and preserves evidence, decision conditions and rollback state.
Approval preview
The user sees the exact diff, sources, automated checks, reviewer responsibilities and pending conditions.
Execution
AYSA can publish the approved version on supported connected properties only after configured gates pass.
Verification
AYSA confirms that the live page matches the approved version and records post-publication checks.
Limits
AYSA cannot replace qualified legal or subject-matter judgment and does not certify regulatory compliance.
