Approved Answer Library Audit Template

A worksheet for auditing reusable questionnaire answers by owner, source, review date, confidence, and update trigger.

Use this before importing old answers into a questionnaire automation tool or after a major policy, compliance, or product change.

Review each answer against its source material. Mark unsupported answers as draft until an owner approves the updated response.
