Review gates
Automated accuracy, tone, accessibility, and completeness checks, plus human approval before anything reaches learners.
Review gates are the checks a course must pass before it is published. They combine automated checks with a human sign-off, so AI speeds up authoring without lowering the bar.
The automated checks
| Check | What it looks for |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | Claims that are not supported by, or contradict, the attached sources. Every flagged claim links to the closest source passage. |
| Tone | Passages that drift from your brand voice, glossary violations, and banned terms. |
| Accessibility | Missing alt text, media without captions or transcripts, low color contrast, and content that is not keyboard operable. |
| Completeness | Learning objectives without matching content or assessment, empty sections, and broken links. |
Each flag shows the passage, the reason, and a suggested fix. Accept the suggestion, edit manually, or dismiss the flag with a note.
Human approval
After the automated checks, an approver signs off. Approvers are typically the course owner or a subject-matter expert; for regulated content, often someone from compliance or legal.
Nothing ships unapproved
A course cannot be published until every blocking flag is resolved and an approver has signed off. Dismissed flags and approvals are recorded in the audit trail with who, when, and why.
Typical review workflow
Author submits for review
The author runs the checks and resolves what they can.
Reviewer inspects flags and content
The reviewer reads the course, checks remaining flags, and leaves comments on specific blocks.
Approve or request changes
Requested changes go back to the author. Approval publishes the version (or schedules it).
Updates go through gates too
When you edit a published course, the changed blocks are re-checked and re-approved. You do not have to review the whole course again for a one-paragraph change, but the new version is recorded separately so compliance records show exactly which version each person completed.
