Create governed bundles

Governed bundles package models, artifacts, and evidence for review and approval. They’re the foundation of the governance lifecycle, and they autosave while you work.

You can apply multiple policies to a single bundle instead of creating separate bundles for each. This reduces duplication and simplifies tracking across overlapping compliance needs.

When a bundle includes policies with gates, those gates activate for governed actions in the project, such as deploying Apps or creating Endpoints. Gates stay active until all required approvals are granted.

Step 1: Create a new governed bundle

To create a new bundle:

  1. Open the project on which you want to create a bundle.

  2. From the sidebar, select Govern > Bundles > Create Bundle.

  3. Enter a Bundle Name.

  4. Choose one or more policies from the drop-down list and click Create.

Your bundle autosaves as you add evidence and artifacts.

Step 2: Add evidence to an existing bundle

You can add files, artifacts, or job outputs to an existing governed bundle.

Attachment that has never been approved

From a Domino File System project:

  1. Click the code link in the right navigation.

  2. Select Add to an existing Bundle.

From a Git-based project:

  1. Click the artifact link in the right navigation and select the artifact.

  2. Select Add to an existing Bundle and choose a bundle from the menu.

From a job:

  1. Navigate to the job and go to the Output tab.

  2. Select the output, then select Add to an existing Bundle and choose a bundle from the menu.

To confirm the addition, click Attachments in the bundle.

Governance Evidence Notebooks autosave in real time. Visibility rules and compliance checks trigger immediately as you make edits.

Step 3: Add a model to an existing bundle

To add a model to an existing governed bundle:

  1. Open the Project that contains the model and select it from the list.

  2. On the Model Details tab, select Add to Bundles.\ > Add to existing Bundle.

  3. Choose a bundle from the menu and click Add.
