Change requests
A change request holds a staged working copy of the record, the way a branch holds a change to code. Edit freely inside it; nothing reaches the live record until it is approved.
In the APIGoverned types route every edit through a proposal, named approvers and an immutable revision.

In the APIApplying a change request welds a numbered revision onto the record: a complete, read-only snapshot with the approval reason attached. Revision 1 to N, browsable and diffable forever.
In the APISet default approvers per type. Every named approver signs, and the last approval applies the change atomically — there is no half-applied state.
Classify a change when it is submitted and route it to the roster that class demands. A minor correction and a redesign do not need the same room full of people.
Bundle several change requests that only make sense together and decide them as one. Approve the package, not eleven separate tickets.
An approver can send a request back with a reason instead of rejecting it outright. The discussion lives on the change request, next to the diff it is about.
Every approver gets one list of what is waiting on them. Submitted-at stamps give you the in-review age of each request and the cycle time across all of them.
Open a change request pre-filled from an earlier revision. Going back is a governed change with the same approvals as going forward, not an untracked overwrite.
Hard-freeze a record against every edit, with a reason required to lock it and to unlock it. A lock stops the change, it does not merely escalate it.
Retire a part, point it at its replacement, and work the still-used list from a dedicated page that hands off to the swap tool.
Every record carries its own history: who changed what, when, and under which change request. Sub-resources and configuration changes are audited too, not only the record body.
