Compliance Glossary for Confluence

What evidence should a release preserve?

A release package should preserve the exact evidence used for that release. This includes approved meanings, source revisions, hashes, usages, findings, coverage, governed links, verification, and external approval references. Production v6 can freeze and export these records. It does not approve the release or execute signatures.

Example

A release changes a regulated term and the code that implements it. The evidence package preserves the prior approved meaning, affected document revisions, code and test revisions, trace links, findings, and verification state. The external quality system retains the final approval and signature evidence.

What this does not mean

Compliance Glossary prepares and preserves supporting evidence. It does not decide release readiness, certify compliance, approve the release, or execute signatures. The organization owns the release decision and qualified approval system.
