Keep the inherited business expectations with the complete template, freeze its exact native target, then prepare the frozen cases for independent review.

## Freeze a complete label template

1. **Load the complete label template**

   Read the current template and its inherited business expectations.

2. **Explain the proposed release**

   Record why the complete template and inherited business expectations are ready for independent review.

3. **Confirm the complete expectations**

   Confirm that you have checked the whole template and inherited expected decisions. No expected answer is generated here.

4. **Freeze the exact template release**

   Freeze against the current station release and original target template. The product rechecks both before creating the candidate.

5. **Prepare the complete frozen cases**

   Retain every expected business decision with this exact frozen candidate for separate review.
