- Open the template release review
Open the template release review.
This chapter starts with the original prepared template. Review its independent reference cases and intended change before freezing a candidate. Once a reviewer publishes it, new labels from this release print through PrintStation.

Record the expectation review.
Record which expectations were checked. A frozen candidate pins the exact template, dependencies and station context.
- Confirm the reviewed reference cases

Freeze the release candidate.
The candidate is immutable. New edits must create another candidate; the frozen one cannot silently change.
