GOV.UK independent publishing review

A draft enters an independent editorial gate with a recorded reason for the change.

documented-procedure · conventional-workflow · Source account, not a validated implementation

What goes in

  • Draft
  • Reason for change

What comes out

  • Reviewed publication or returned draft

Documented sequence

Order described in the source account; not a sequence between pattern families.

  1. Preview the rendered draft
  2. Record requester and reason in an internal note
  3. Submit for second review
  4. Explicitly send the editor a draft link
  5. Receive publication or rejection outcome
  6. Revise rejected content and resubmit

Checks described

  • Rendered preview
  • Second editor review

What changes with context

  • Whitehall Publisher and editor permissions
  • Submission does not automatically notify a reviewer
  • Rejected content returns to draft

Shared patterns · provisional interpretation

No assigned pattern. This case remains visible rather than being forced into a family.

Fit: unmapped. Exploratory analyst coding of collected source summaries; not independently tested

Could this transfer?

Hypothetical: an operations team could apply this gate to employee-facing process announcements.

Limit: Reviewer independence and notification behavior must be implemented in the destination system.

Evidence limits and unknowns

Summary through context_constraints paraphrase source-backed mechanics. structural_motifs, candidate_midlevel_pattern, transfer_example_explicitly_hypothetical and transfer_limit are analyst interpretations, not tested findings.
