Review & Approval

Final approval workflow

Approval is the moment a draft is signed off as ready to publish or deliver. In Magpiie the approval is recorded against a specific version, with a timestamp, so there is never a question about what was agreed.

When the last Must Fix is resolved, the draft shows as ready to approve.

Approve a draft

Open the latest version of the draft.
Check that every Must Fix comment is resolved. Suggestions can stay open or be set to Won't fix.
Choose your decision: approve, request changes, or leave it pending.
The decision is recorded with your name, the version, and the time.

Readiness indicators

Readiness indicators show at a glance whether a draft is approval-worthy: whether all critical feedback is resolved, and which issues are still pending before the next review. Suggestions are shown separately from blockers.

PlanDraft readiness indicators are available on Studio Crew and Enterprise.
