Objective:

To review alternative actions when editing a policy through the PolicyStat Editor is not the appropriate or ideal choice. 

Environment:

PolicyStat

Answer:

Collaboration and Commenting Feature

When giving or receiving feedback during the review process, consider using PolicyStat's collaboration and commenting feature. All involved parties can discuss and comment on a draft. Outside user can also view and comment, but cannot make edits. For more on this process, see this article.

Minor Changes - Administrative Override

For minor changes (e.g. - typo corrections), Site Administrators can complete an Administrative Override in place of an Edit. The benefit of this feature is that it bypasses the Approval Workflow process for small changes and does not require a full review by all Approvers.

Editing With Word

For those more comfortable editing in Microsoft Word, policy drafts can be exported to and edited in Microsoft Word. When edits have been completed, the policy can be re-imported, and all changes will be tracked. For more on the process, see this article.
