Keep an uncertain save separate from a failure, then read its original outcome without repeating the change.

This lesson shows a deliberately interrupted reply after a genuine saved draft. The original source response is retained, and the recovery reads it without another save.

## Read the original save after an interruption

1. **Open the current KitProof draft**

   Open the current KitProof draft

   Load the product’s current draft. Plain English assistance is unavailable in this workspace, so use the complete manual controls. Approved production continues separately.

2. **Choose the approved kit family**

   Choose the approved kit family

   Select the family task to find the approved kit and its existing rules.

3. **Keep the kit family exact**

   Keep the kit family exact

   Choose CONTROL_BOX from the source’s approved kit families.

4. **Read the family controls**

   Read the family controls

   Load the current family controls. This reads the source and does not save a change.

5. **Choose an existing rule**

   Choose an existing rule

   Select the task for editing an existing rule. Existing component choices remain owned by KitProof.

6. **Choose rule R01**

   Choose rule R01

   Choose the existing R01 rule, which selects the approved 24-volt controller.

7. **Load the rule’s current values**

   Load the rule’s current values

   Read the complete current condition and action for R01 before changing its priority.

8. **Open the complete rule change**

   Open the complete rule change

   Select Edit rule R01. Check the supply condition, component, quantity and verification policy together.

9. **Set the proposed priority**

   Set the proposed priority

   For this proposed change, set R01’s priority to 110. Keep its condition, approved component, quantity and verification policy unchanged.

10. **Prepare the complete private change**

   Prepare the complete private change

   Prepare the full condition and action together for the exact current revision. Nothing is saved or approved yet.

11. **Transfer the prepared change privately**

   Transfer the prepared change privately

   Transfer the checked file to its owning product. Each part is bound to the current draft; transferring does not save the draft.

12. **Check the complete change before saving**

   Check the complete change before saving

   Confirm that you checked the complete change and intend to save it. Test and review it independently before it can be used.

13. **Recognise an interrupted save reply**

   Recognise an interrupted save reply

   In this recorded interruption, the source has processed the request but its reply did not reach Automation. Treat the outcome as uncertain. Do not save the change again.

14. **Read the original saved outcome**

   Read the original saved outcome

   Check the recorded request. This reads the original source outcome and does not repeat the save. Continue only after the original revision is confirmed.

The original source revision is confirmed and the native change has not been repeated. Complete expected-case testing and release review remain separate.
