A library of checklists a maintenance plan can pull onto its own task list, so a step typed once — the eight-point quarterly service, the safety isolation sequence — does not get retyped on every plan that needs it.

​
Checklists are versioned

Like an inspection template, a checklist here has a draft and a published version. A plan always copies the version in force at the moment it pulls the checklist onto its own task list — publishing a correction here never rewrites a plan that has already copied it. To change what plans copy from now on, take a draft, edit its steps — reordered by dragging — and publish it.
A checklist with nothing published cannot be pulled onto a plan at all: there is no version in force to copy. Open it and publish the draft first.

​
Who is using this one

Expand a checklist to see which plans have pulled it. Worth checking before editing a widely-used one, and before deleting it — a checklist still in use should usually be retired instead.

​
Retiring versus removing

Retire (is_active off) takes a checklist out of the picker offered when building a plan, and leaves every plan already built from it untouched — the ordinary end of a checklist’s working life. Delete is a soft delete on the checklist’s own row. Plans that already copied it keep their steps; they simply stop being able to tell whether the library’s version has since moved on.

​
Correcting a plan that is behind

Editing this library never changes a plan on its own, by design — a plan’s steps are its own copy, not a live link. Where a plan’s section has fallen behind a published update, that plan says so on its own Tasks step; bringing it up to date is done there, section by section, not from this screen.
