Prepare the whole saved selection, run its independent expected results and submit the exact passing release for review.

## Prove a ConfigSheets selection

1. **Load the current ConfigSheets revision**

   Load the current ConfigSheets revision

   Read the saved selection and its independently reviewed expected results before preparing a release.

2. **Prepare the complete selection for checking**

   Prepare the complete selection for checking

   Freeze the complete saved selection, its source dependencies and the independently approved expected answers together.

3. **Run the complete ConfigSheets check**

   Run the complete ConfigSheets check

   Run the original check against the retained inputs. It checks matching and no-match results without changing live source tables. If the reply is interrupted, read the original outcome instead of sending another check.

4. **Build the exact release proposal**

   Build the exact release proposal

   Ask ConfigSheets to check that the saved inputs and expected answers still match. Build a release proposal containing the complete selection and the passing proof.

5. **Request an independent release review**

   Request an independent release review

   Submit the complete proposal for a separate reviewer. This saves the request; it does not activate the selection or send data to another product.

ConfigSheets keeps the original check and its evidence. A separate release review and activation are still required before connected applications can use the selection.
