Governance and launch validation

Exercise lifecycle outcomes with test identities and validate offboarding across login, public profile, QR/NFC, mobile and API surfaces. 19. Review analytics access and data scope. 20. Complete the operational health checklist in the troubleshooting guide before launch.

Change control

Document the approving owner for branding, domains, administrators, integrations and lifecycle actions. Use staging where practical, avoid sharing credentials in tickets or screenshots, and repeat validation after material configuration changes.
