   • In the left sidebar, click My Inbox, then under Tasks, locate the attestation with a Not Started status.

2. Click Start Attestation.

   After you start the attestation, the questionnaire fields are available to complete.

3. Review the model context using the tabs on the left side of the screen:

   • Inventory — Shows the models included in your attestation with snapshot details.
   • Validation Issues — Shows open validation issues for your models at the time of the snapshot.
   • Artifacts — Shows model artifacts captured in the snapshot.

4. Complete the attestation questionnaire by filling in each field. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).

After you submit, the attestation is sent to your reviewer. The platform maintains a history of all status changes and notes. If your reviewer rejects your attestation questionnaire, you will need to revise your responses and resubmit for review.
