What belongs in a release record.

A short reference for what to keep, and what to leave out, when documenting an approval.

HORYZUN / TECHNICAL LIBRARY3 min read

Include the boundary of the review

State exactly which versions, languages, and content were reviewed. A record that doesn't name its own scope invites the assumption that everything was checked.

Include the resolution, not just the finding

For every issue raised, record how it was resolved and who made that call. The reasoning matters more than the outcome — a future reader needs to know why a phrasing was accepted, not only that it was.

Include the release owner's decision

A reviewer's recommendation and a release owner's approval are different things. Keep them visibly separate in the record so accountability stays clear months later.

Leave out claims the review didn't make

Don't let a scoped review of pricing language imply a full legal or compliance audit. A record should describe exactly what was examined — nothing more, nothing less.

Bring these questions to your next release.
