Review procedure

These are suggested operational checks to apply to your own evidence. They are not additional legal requirements or claims that the workspace automates this entire task.

Step 1

Document who may upload, view and download evidence through the chosen delivery route.

Step 2

Use a harmless sample to test the recipient experience and any expiry or revocation control.

Step 3

Check that notifications reveal only the information needed to process a delivery.

Step 4

Record received files as pending review and remove unnecessary access after the exchange.

Worked example

A supplier receives an upload link, while the reviewer assumes anyone with that link can also view all previous files.

What the reviewer finds

  • The team has not tested whether the link permits downloads.
  • A delivery notification is being mistaken for document approval.

Resulting record

An access test record and supplier delivery checklist.
