Keep every forecast decision tied to its version.

1. STEP 01

   Start with the version under review

   Open the forecast version you intend to review. Steadmark records each review action against that version, keeping the decision connected to the forecast the reviewer considered.

2. STEP 02

   Record one of three outcomes

   Approve the version, request changes, or reject it. A request for changes must include a reviewer comment; comments are optional for approvals and rejections.

3. STEP 03

   Carry requested changes into a draft

   When a reviewer requests changes, Steadmark creates a draft revision from the reviewed version and carries the reviewer note into that draft. The original decision remains in the version’s history while the editor works through the feedback.

4. STEP 04

   Revisit the decision history

   Open approval history for the version to review the recorded action, who took it, when it happened, and any comment saved with it.

An approval records a reviewer’s decision on a particular forecast version. It does not certify the forecast’s accuracy or guarantee a business outcome.
