How to use this template

  1. Define the search question

    Write the question the page should answer, its intended reader and the evidence needed. Decide whether an existing page should be updated before commissioning a new one.

  2. Assign the editorial handoffs

    Name the writer, editor and final approver. Use the revision branch to show what happens when a draft needs clearer evidence or a better answer.

  3. Plan a useful review

    Add checks for the title, description, internal links and indexing settings. Choose a review date and measures that match the purpose of the page.
