Recommended governance model
Use a maker-checker style process for material changes, and keep archived versions discoverable for evidence retrieval.
Assign one business owner and one compliance approver per template family.
Publish only active templates to deployment workflows.
Keep draft and archived templates out of live operational paths.
What to document
For each live template, maintain a short control note covering intended use, purpose definitions, retention assumptions, and who approved the wording.
