How Maisy Keeps AI Answers Current with SharePoint and Power Automate

A company launches Maisy with clean SharePoint libraries and approved procedures. Six months later, a policy changes, a form is replaced and a procedure still points to an old system. The assistant still works, but some sources are stale. The problem is maintenance.

Maisy Assigns an Owner to Every Source

SharePoint metadata records the knowledge owner, approver, department, lifecycle status, effective date, review date, sensitivity, audience and AI eligibility. The Practical Knowledge Governance Model explains why every authoritative source needs ownership and review.

Lifecycle Status Controls Retrieval

Maisy can use Draft, In Review, Approved, Published, Superseded, Retired and Under Exception. Only approved and published content normally remains in production retrieval. Revisions stay outside the active source until approved.

Power Automate Sends Review Reminders

Power Automate can identify documents approaching review deadlines and notify owners through Teams or email. Messages can include the document link, status, deadline, required action, approver and escalation date.

Maisy Routes Changes Through Approval

A revision can move from submission to review, approval, publication, updated review dates, superseding the prior version and employee notification. Business owners approve operational accuracy; the workflow enforces the process.

Maisy Can Exclude Overdue Content

Power Automate can change AI eligibility to Excluded, mark content Under Review, move it to a restricted library or remove it from active retrieval. High-risk safety, financial or legal content can receive stricter treatment.

Keep the Knowledge Hub Alive

The guide to preparing organizational content explains why stale and duplicate sources must be controlled. Maisy helps retain institutional knowledge through ownership and review, and helps retain institutional knowledge by preventing yesterday’s procedure from becoming tomorrow’s answer.
