Publishing an update

  1. Open the master in Organisation > Library and make your changes

  2. Choose Publish update

  3. Write a change note saying what changed and why. Businesses see it when they review

  4. Choose the audience: everyone, a brand, an area, or chosen businesses

  5. Publish

Each business in the audience reviews the update section by section and decides what to take. See Reviewing an Organisation Update.

Required updates

Mark an update Required and set a due date when every business must review it.

  • Businesses get a reminder three days before the due date

  • Past the due date, the update shows as overdue to the organisation, on Home under Needs attention

Locked sections

A Required update can lock chosen sections. A locked section is read-only in the business and can only change through the organisation's updates.

Nothing is applied automatically. Even a Required update with locked sections is reviewed and approved by each business.

Every decision is recorded

Paddl records who took or kept each section, and when. The business's item history shows a line such as "Took version 5 from Your Group on 3 November, by Sam Patel", and the audit pack carries it.
