To prove training matches the current SOP revision, you need a record linking each lesson to the SOP version it was built from, evidence that the training was updated when the SOP changed, and proof that the right people completed it. Skill Studio AI generates that record as part of the update process.
Last updated: 13 October 2026
What do auditors look for?
Inspectors increasingly question passive "read and understood" sign-offs. They want to see that the training reflected the procedure in force on the day.
What are the five pieces of evidence?
SOP revision number linked to each course version
A record of what changed between revisions
SME approval of the update, with name and date
Completion data per learner, in your LMS
A history showing nobody was left on a superseded version
Why is this hard to assemble after the fact?
Evidence built manually after the update depends on people remembering to record it. Evidence generated by the update process is complete by default.
What does an audit-ready record answer?
Question an auditor asks | Where the answer comes from |
|---|---|
Which SOP revision is this training based on? | Course version linked to the SOP baseline |
What changed since the last version? | Baseline-change record |
Who approved the update? | SME sign-off log |
Who completed it? | LMS completion data |
Is anyone still on the old version? | Version history |
What features should you look for?
Compliance mapping, an instant audit trail, and audit export from a compliance dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Is a "read and understood" checkbox enough for an audit?
Increasingly not on its own. Auditors often look for evidence of comprehension and version control.
Does Skill Studio AI replace my document control system?
No. It works from your approved SOPs and keeps training aligned to them. 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signatures are on our roadmap and not yet shipped, so keep your formal approval record in your validated system.
