Review and publish a passport
Use validation findings, the public preview and version history before a passport goes live.
DPP Shield editorial team · Updated:
Run validation, resolve blocking findings, check the public preview, then have an owner or admin publish. If a blocking finding must be accepted, request an override that a second person approves. After publication, edits create a new version while the published one stays live.
Review the draft
- Open the passport from the passports list.
- Run validation and resolve blocking findings; review warnings.
- Open the public preview and check that confidential or incomplete information is redacted.
- Ask an owner or admin to publish the approved version, then attach its QR code or GS1 Digital Link carrier.
Overrides and second-person approval
Publication is refused while a mandatory requirement is unmet or the rule pack has not been legally approved. To publish anyway, request an override with a written reason. A different owner or admin must approve it; the approval covers that exact version and markets and expires after a set number of days.
Second-factor confirmation
If you have a second factor enrolled, publishing, bulk publication and override decisions ask you to confirm it again when your last confirmation is older than a few minutes. You return to the same page afterwards.
After publication
Edit the passport when data changes. The edit creates a new version; the published release keeps answering scans until the new version passes the same gate. A recall keeps the passport public with a recall notice, and archiving retires it from operations while its last release stays readable.
