Check an interrupted WorkSteps draft save
Keep an uncertain save separate from a failure, then read its original outcome without repeating the change.
For authors
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 these instructions on any device. Watch or practise a chapter on a desktop or laptop, with a desktop or mobile application layout. Demonstrations use sample data and simulated scanners.
Read the original save after an interruption
- Open the current WorkSteps draft
Open the current WorkSteps 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.
- Choose the additional inspection condition
Choose the additional inspection condition
Open the condition that includes the existing approved additional inspection step. The instruction itself stays unchanged.
- Express the same required Boolean check
Express the same required Boolean check
For this required Yes-or-No input, express the same inspection trigger as not equal to No. Missing values are not being treated as No.
- Choose No as the comparison value
Choose No as the comparison value
Choose No. For the source’s required Boolean inspection flag, not No retains the same trigger as Yes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
