1. Draft or import – paste your working copy or start from a template.
2. AI suggestions – run Suggest improvements for structure/clarity.
3. Language polish – use Enhance language to enforce tone and readability.
4. Manual edits – refine wording, headings, and context buckets.
5. Compliance review – capture legislative alignment by running the compliance check (required to unlock media uploads).
6. Supporting objects – add charts, images, videos, or embeds to enrich the policy.
7. Final review – rerun any AI step as needed until the policy reads well.
8. Executive approvals – submit for sign‑off; overrides require a justification.
9. Auto publish – once approved, role tags, metadata, and embeddings run before the policy lands in the manual & pop‑outs.

You can always return to an earlier step. Draft edits lock once executives are reviewing, but you can reopen the policy if changes are required.
