Begin with ownership and source
Every data field needs an authorised owner and source. Models, technical values, images and documents should pass the same publication control before joining one product record.
Separate review and publication states
Draft, in review, approved and archived states help teams understand what may be public. Preserve the same distinction through translation.
Plan updates and archive
When a product or document changes, check previous links, publish the current version and archive the old record without misleading users.
