Draft & Publish Workflow
Every state transition is a ledger entry. DraftSaved, ApprovalRequested, ApprovalGranted, ApproverReleaseSigned — the workflow state machine and the audit trail are the same artifact, satisfying 21 CFR Part 11 §11.200's two‑component signature requirement.
Magellan separates work‑in‑progress from production‑ready metadata through a draft and publish workflow.
Users can freely edit schemas, mappings, and rules in draft mode without affecting published versions that downstream systems depend on.
Every state transition — Draft → Approval → Published, Rejected, or Deprecated — writes a ledger entry. `DraftSaved`, `ApprovalRequested`, `ApprovalGranted`, `ApproverReleaseSigned`, `ReleaseRejected`, and `VersionDeprecated` together form the workflow state machine and the audit trail in one artifact.
Production releases require a Contributor draft signature plus an Approver release signature — satisfying 21 CFR Part 11 §11.200's two-component electronic signature requirement.
This workflow prevents accidental disruption to production pipelines while giving teams the freedom to iterate and experiment safely.
