# Policy Approval and Retirement Workflow
This diagram shows the dynamic workflow used to create, review, approve, publish, supersede, and retire controlled policy documents in the Kell Creations platform.
## Purpose
This view explains how the Policy Repository, notifications, audit logging, evidence retention, and version-controlled source history work together to support controlled policy lifecycle management.
## Diagram Source
The source for this diagram is maintained as architecture code in:
`architecture/workspace/dynamic-policy-approval-retirement.puml`

## Included Workflow Participants
- Business Owner
- Operations Staff
- Policy Repository

## Notes
This dynamic workflow establishes the governance pattern for controlled policy lifecycle management in the Kell Creations platform. Future refinements should distinguish between draft creation, formal review states, approval-required publication, superseded version handling, retirement triggers, and evidence-retention policies.
