# Prepare and run an independently reviewed selection

Keep allowed sources, complete conditions, expected examples and native publication distinct from current data results.

Review edition: 25 October 2026

Roles: owner, author, reviewer, operator, viewer

A saved selection defines which whole tabs a permitted reader may obtain under reviewed conditions. Preparing its source scope, publishing its rules and running the published selection are separate steps. A successful run is current data output, not another rule approval.

## Prepare the allowed scope

Where your effective roles offer Create a saved selection, name it and choose Sources this selection may read and its permitted readers. Source preparation is an Author action; additional native reading access may be needed to reach that screen. Preserve the original retained request if its answer is uncertain.

Use the linked SmartFACT Automation workspace to complete conditions, independent examples and review. The candidate must not decide its own expected outcomes. Give success, refusal and missing-information cases from the intended process and inspect the complete native definition.

## Publish the exact reviewed version

Follow the separate case evidence, proof, verification and release-review steps for that candidate. Native publication rechecks the source basis, permissions and recovery state. A verification result is not the same as an active published selection.

Qualified source-validity bindings add restrictions from explicitly enrolled observations. They cannot relax native freshness, errors, permission or selection conditions. A changed definition may require an explicit current rebind before proof and publication can proceed.

## Read current matching tabs

Owners, Operators and Viewers can choose Run released selection for the active version. Inspect released revision, approved source count, each source revision, status and receipt time. The result shows up to 100 rows from each whole matching tab; source pages hold the remaining rows. Use Previous tabs and Next tabs for the matching-tab pages.

If no version is released, complete review rather than treating the retained source definition as runnable. If a source is held or invalid, address its stated cause instead of interpreting a blocked result as a successful empty answer. Use [Use source observations](/manuals/configsheets/source-observations) for the extra validity boundary.
