Operate a settlement

#Page purpose

Govern one settlement from authority through signed evidence.

#Before you start

• Sign in as assigned lawyers, negotiators and approvers and confirm WatheeqTech shows /lex/settlements/[id]; hidden controls indicate that your account lacks the required permission.
• Open the record from its owning register or a trusted notification so you begin with the correct tenant, record identifier and current lifecycle state.
• Collect the reason, authority and supporting evidence required for any governed decision or state transition.

#How to use this page

#Governance and expected result

• Operate only within the tenant, role and record visibility granted to you.
• Record the decision, reason and supporting evidence before completing a governed action.
• Use the page action for the transition rather than changing source data or maintaining a parallel offline status.
• Verify the resulting status, owner, timeline, version or audit event before leaving the page.
