Launch Checklist

When a new collection is completed (review and QC done) or significant updates are made to an existing collection, follow these steps to ensure we effectively communicate and share the new resource. Link to doc version.

Ensure there is a point person for the collection. The point person will lead a collection through the launch process. Discuss at DC Team if necessary to clarify.
