====== Plan Publishing ======

Once a physician has approved a plan it should be //Published//. //Publishing// a plan allows the user to lock the plan. This means that once a plan has been //Published// no changes may be made to that plan. A plan that has been //Published// will be available to "view only". The //Plan History// will show the date and time a plan is //Published// as well as the user who //Published// it. A plan may not be changed or archived once it has been //Published//. If a user needs to make a change to a //Published// plan they will need to copy the //Published// plan in order to do so. Once the //Published// plan is cloned they may proceed to make any changes desired.   

The following steps outline how to publish a plan in the Astroid Planning App:
