Tasks and corrections

A returned review decision should lead to a named action. The operator creates a production task against the content item, assigns it to a person and sets a due date. Open and in progress distinguish newly assigned work from work under way. Completed records the finished correction and its resolution; Cancelled preserves a task that no longer needs action. The task stays attached to the item so a reviewer can see why the next revision changed.

Corrections matter even after an item has been delivered. A successor revision carries the changed material through review while the earlier revision, its decisions and its execution evidence remain in the history. When a delivery is superseded, the team needs an explicit compensating task. That task states what must be addressed at the receiving end; changing the item status alone would leave an ambiguous external outcome.

• Every correction has an owner. A task names who will resolve the outstanding request.
• Prior evidence stays available. The earlier review and delivery trail explain what is being corrected.
• Successors get reviewed. A new revision waits for an independent decision on the changed content.

Agree which review outcomes create tasks and who assigns them. Define reasonable due dates for missing files, incorrect references and post-delivery changes. A task resolution should say what changed and point to the updated material; a bare Completed label is not enough for a later reviewer. Decide which changes are minor edits to a draft and which require a successor revision, especially when a decision or delivery already exists.

Agree how a superseded delivery is communicated through the delivery connection. The task should identify the action and responsible person. Rehearse a returned item, a rejected requirement and an already delivered item whose evidence needs replacement. Keep the original source reference and decision reason available while the successor is prepared.

A reviewer returns an item because its attached file has the wrong document date. The operator creates an Open task for the assigned person with a due date. That person obtains the replacement. The operator records the resolution and completes the task. The operator updates the content revision and submits it again. The reviewer sees the earlier return, the completed task and the new evidence before recording a decision for the successor. If the original had already been delivered, another task records the required compensation.

• Open production tasks — Outstanding corrections with assignee, due date and status.
• My production tasks — Assigned work and the resolution recorded by its owner.
• Submitted revisions — Successor content awaiting an independent check.

Correction and supersession traces the successor. Evidence review covers a replacement file.
