Cannot prevent changes during review period

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Somewhat a symptom of not having in-tool review.  Cannot prevent changes subsequent to review/approval but prior to delivery of a change set.  Change set state is either open or delivered. No "Under review-don't make changes" state. Since have to do review outside the tool, hard to know that somebody made more changes. Hard to detect.
Have to do two reviews: The review and then a review that nothing was added after the review. Have to look at all the times of the changes vs the time of review and account for time zone of review. Not all changes have a time stamp associated with it. Links do not have timestamps: Have to go to artifact view to look at history. 

Anyone can change a changeset after review. Nothing to prevent someone from making a change. No state during review. Have to do two reviews. One before delivery and one after delivery. Have to do second review based on time. Look at the change set and all the times of the changes compared to the time of the review. But, not all changes have a timestamp related to them, such as Links, so that time-based check doesn't guarantee it wasn't changed after review. Have to look at the history of every artifact. Need way to prevent the changes and a way to audit.

    As discussed in this documentation topic:
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/doors-next/7.0.3?topic=artifacts-reviews#c_reviews__informal
    "You can create a review from within a stream or a baseline."
    If you need to ensure that artifacts are not modified during the review process, you should create the review from a baseline.
    You could create a separate stream used only for the review process, separate from the "main" stream.
    Make the updates in that stream, and when ready for review, create a baseline on that stream and create a review from that baseline.
    Once the review is done and the baseline is approved. You can deliver of the approved change sets from that review stream to the main stream.
