# Virtual Assistant Article Correction Verification

Published September 1, 2026. Marking a comment resolved is not the same as proving the requested correction appears in the release candidate. Use the [content calendar workflow](/blog/virtual-assistant-content-calendar-workflow) to place this control in the daily sequence, the [editorial quality checklist](/blog/virtual-assistant-editorial-quality-checklist) for adjacent review steps, and [NIST small business cybersecurity guidance](https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber) when the routine handles business information.

Virtual Assistant Article Correction Verification: operating steps

Restate each required change as an observable result, such as replacing a figure, qualifying a claim, repairing a link, or moving a section. Preserve the original comment for context.

Compare against the named version

Verify corrections in the exact release candidate, not an open browser tab of uncertain age. Record the document identifier or commit and check surrounding text for accidental deletions.

Recheck dependent details

A corrected title may affect metadata and internal links; a changed statistic may affect a summary and table. Follow these dependencies before closing the correction item.

Escalate interpretation questions

If the requested change is ambiguous or conflicts with another instruction, pause and return it to the editor. The assistant should verify implementation, not invent editorial intent.

Frequently asked questions

### Should every optional suggestion be verified? Track it separately. Required corrections block release; optional suggestions need an explicit accept or decline decision. ### What closes the checklist? A named verifier, the tested version, results for every required item, and confirmation that no new blocker was introduced.
