- 0:18Compare the certificate identifier, survey title and organisation with the file you intend to share. A similar title does not prove it is the same submission.
- 0:28Open the certificate details and review the recorded signers, issue information and source fingerprint. These identify the review decision and the bytes it refers to.
- 0:38A revised survey export is a different file even if its filename is unchanged. A certificate for the earlier bytes should not be presented as covering that revision.
- 0:48Use the public verification route with the certificate identifier. Check the current status when relying on a shared certificate, rather than trusting an old screenshot alone.
- 0:58A withdrawn certificate remains visible as a historical record and is clearly marked. Withdrawal does not erase the fact that a decision was previously issued.
- 1:08If a certificate needs withdrawal, follow the available action and record a proper reason. Do not try to change a certified file's status through ordinary editing.
- 1:18Certification is a recorded approval of a defined file and check scope. It is not government endorsement or a guarantee of every measurement in the survey.

Follow the issued record
Our training survey has completed final approval. This lesson explains how to find its certificate, verify its current state and understand withdrawal. Certificates shows the latest records visible to your account, including withdrawn records. The displayed list is not necessarily the total ever issued. Compare the certificate identifier, survey title and organisation with the file you intend to share. A similar title does not prove it is the same submission.
Read the decision record
Open the certificate details and review the recorded signers, issue information and source fingerprint. These identify the review decision and the bytes it refers to. A revised survey export is a different file even if its filename is unchanged. A certificate for the earlier bytes should not be presented as covering that revision. Use the public verification route with the certificate identifier. Check the current status when relying on a shared certificate, rather than trusting an old screenshot alone.
Understand withdrawal
A withdrawn certificate remains visible as a historical record and is clearly marked. Withdrawal does not erase the fact that a decision was previously issued. If a certificate needs withdrawal, follow the available action and record a proper reason. Do not try to change a certified file's status through ordinary editing. Certification is a recorded approval of a defined file and check scope. It is not government endorsement or a guarantee of every measurement in the survey.
Verify the file behind the document
Keep the issued certificate with the exact source file and the review evidence. If the source changes, the earlier fingerprint does not identify the changed bytes. A familiar filename, matching row count or similar report appearance cannot replace that identity check.
Check the current verification state rather than treating a downloaded PDF as permanently valid. The fictional examples include valid and withdrawn records to demonstrate the distinction. Certification records a review decision; measurement accuracy still needs appropriate engineering evidence.
Practise and check your interpretation
Pause here. Match a training certificate to its source, check its current status, and explain what would need review if the source bytes changed.
Match the certificate ID, organisation, file and source fingerprint. Verify its current status rather than relying on an old screenshot. Changed source bytes need their own appropriate review. A withdrawn record remains visible historically. Certification records an authorised review decision for the defined source and check scope; it does not guarantee field measurement accuracy or government endorsement.
