## Review a submitted ConfigSheets release

1. **Load the submitted selection’s current revision**

   Load the submitted selection’s current revision

   Load the source revision and current expected results before opening a saved submission. If either has changed, stop and ask the author to prepare a new release.

2. **Open the saved submission**

   Open the saved submission

   Load the saved proposal and its original check. ConfigSheets must still recognise the same expected results and complete release contents. Loading does not approve the release.

3. **Explain the release decision**

   Explain the release decision

   Check the complete selection, allowed readers, source dependencies, independent expected answers and original proof together. Record the reasons for your decision.

4. **Record the independent release review**

   Record the independent release review

   Save your approval for this exact submission. ConfigSheets checks that you are a separate reviewer and that the release still meets its requirements. Activation remains separate.

The review remains with the original submission. Approval alone does not activate the selection or change a connected application’s data.
