Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
PAAB-exempt email linking to PAAB-approved tool
-
We have an unbranded, PAAB-exempt email that contains links only to other unbranded, PAAB-exempt digital tools. Would it be permissible to include a link within this email to an unbranded, PAAB-approved tool, given that there is no way for users to navigate from the PAAB-approved tool back to the email? I understand that in the reverse scenario (a PAAB-approved email linking to a PAAB-exempt tool), the tool would be subject to PAAB review. Could you please confirm if the same applies in this case?

Hi @mimic909
A PAAB approved tool may not be linked to an exempt APS without PAAB review. The order of navigation does not make a difference. The email copy is intended to be consumed and is linked to the PAAB approved APS. As the messages are connected, both are PAAB reviewable.
