Document workspaceJoint Applicant Document Ownership Map: an evidence-led workflow
The guide addresses one applicant-owned question created when two applicants prepare separate parts of one application: what exact request wording proves and what request channel still must include. Separate supported facts from open questions in the joint document ownership map, and escalate only the unanswered point where one applicant can duplicate the other's upload.

Short answer
The exact request wording row has one job in joint applicant document ownership map: copy the recipient's question without paraphrasing. Keep the initiating message with its property and date before the working set moves forward. The request channel row has one job in joint applicant document ownership map: name the email, portal or form route that carried the request. Save the channel receipt beside the instruction before the working set moves forward. Example for joint applicant document ownership map: two applicants prepare separate parts of one application. One joint document ownership map row captures exact request wording; another tests request channel against its date; the evidence boundary remains explicit. Response deadline is left outside the recipient set when one applicant can duplicate the other's upload, and attachment-to-request match carries the follow-up. The evidence map carries no approval signal.
