Establish what produced the record
Open the original source and the saved capture or proposed change. Check the external account, document or item, its date, the importing app and the intended destination. Preserve a stable source reference so another authorised person can repeat your check.
Some source packages, including Records Engine and Web Enricher, can prepare structured records or review batches. They were source candidates rather than entries in this guide’s selected catalog. Do not assume their workflow is installed because an example or old instruction names it. Check available extensions and the actual installed app first.
Compare identity, meaning and date
Make sure the record refers to the intended company, person or transaction. Similar names are not enough. Check dates, units, ownership and status against the source. If the app has combined several items, verify that each source supports the particular claim assigned to it.
A public web result can support a sourced observation; it does not prove a private commercial commitment. When evidence is incomplete, keep the uncertainty visible or leave the proposed fact out. Do not fill a missing field from a similar record.
Decide the actual proposed change
Read the complete proposed difference and its reason. Check whether the result is a new evidence record, a correction to current information or a replacement operating record. Those have different consequences. Follow reviewing changes for the approval and source readback.
If an installed app presents a review batch, use its supported batch controls and inspect the outcome for every item you decide. A partially loaded page or failed item does not establish that the rest succeeded. Keep references to unresolved items before leaving the page.
Correct an import without losing its origin
Name the incorrect field, the correct value and the evidence for it. Preserve the source and unrelated content. Correcting saved information explains how to check whether the correction saved immediately or still needs review.
If the source system itself is wrong, decide where the authoritative correction belongs. Editing a Mind copy does not update the external application. If the importer later repeats the incorrect value, pause the affected work and have the authorised maintainer fix the source or mapping before accepting another batch.
