Authoring & governance · Governed
Write notices people understand, and keep every change under control.
Your staff build notices from reusable blocks, check them for plain language as they write, and send every change through the reviewers your agency requires.
What it does
Block-based template editor
Build a notice from blocks: summary, what happened, what to do next, details and contact information. Reuse blocks across notices so one fix updates them all.
Plain-language checks while you write
See the reading grade level, long sentences and missing information before a notice goes to review.
Locked legal and appeal-rights text
Required language lives in locked blocks that only authorized reviewers can change, so it is never dropped by accident.
Approval workflows
Choose who reviews each kind of notice. Turn on two-person approval so no one approves their own work.
Versions and effective dates
Every version is kept with its author and reason. Schedule a new version to take effect on the day a policy changes.
How agencies use it
- Program staff update a notice after a policy change and send it to legal review in the same screen.
- Communications staff maintain shared blocks, such as contact details, that every notice uses.
- Leaders see who changed what, when and why, without asking anyone to dig through email.
