Replace the current upload/edit/re-lint loop with one draft workspace for Word templates and PowerPoint presentation styles. Managers upload a candidate, see its derived analysis and lint results, replace the candidate repeatedly without leaving the workflow, and publish only when it is ready.
Are you intending to implement this feature?
Yes.
Current Behavior
Replacing a template changes the live file immediately. To retry linting, a manager must repeatedly leave the edit screen, upload, submit, and inspect a separate result. Ghostwriter cannot reliably tell users whether displayed facts still match the current file.
Desired Behavior
Every template has a current published file or a draft candidate. A draft records a content fingerprint, analyzer version, schema version, status, and results. The published file remains available while the manager tests a replacement. Errors block publication; warnings require an explicit acknowledgement. The primary library states are Draft, Ready, Needs attention, Legacy, and Archived.
Use Case
Template managers can safely iterate on a DOCX or PPTX without disrupting reports that use the published template, and can see exactly what must be fixed before publishing.
Implementation Suggestions
Use the refreshed UI from #964/PR #962. Keep permanent revision history and rollback after publication out of the MVP: retain the published file only while a replacement draft is being validated. Existing records become published templates; future legacy-PPTX conversion creates a separate record.
Additional Information
Acceptance criteria
Creating or editing a Word template or PowerPoint presentation style opens an iterative draft workspace.
Uploading or replacing a draft file automatically runs linting and derived analysis, storing a content fingerprint, analyzer/schema versions, timestamp, status, and format-specific results.
Managers can replace a draft file and rerun analysis/linting repeatedly without restarting the edit flow.
The current published file remains usable until a replacement draft is explicitly published.
Failed analysis and lint errors block publication; warnings require an explicit acknowledgement before publication.
Drafts and published templates use the plain-language statuses Draft, Ready, Needs attention, Legacy, and Archived; detailed causes are available on demand.
Existing templates receive a safe migration path without requiring re-upload.
Template edit permission controls draft editing and publication in the MVP.
The PR includes refreshed-UI screenshots and release notes.
