# Approved Post Content Lock Audit

Check which approved social drafts changed after review, without assuming that a status badge protects every field.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Approved caption/media/link/time snapshots; current snapshots; approval IDs; lock setting; edit log.

## Workflow
1. Match each approval to the reviewed snapshot and workspace.
2. Compare caption, media order, link and posting time field by field.
3. Identify changed fields, not only changed text; report whether lock was documented.
4. Require a fresh owner review of changed content; never reset or grant approval.

## Output contract
post_id | approval_version | changed_field | old_value | current_value | lock_evidence | review_hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional approved caption stays the same but link changes from /spring to /summer. Flag the link change. An unknown lock setting does not make the change approved.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
