To draft documentation means to write an initial version of the docs. Draft is the standard professional term, behind "first draft" and "draft the docs." Pen up, scribble, and note out are informal or imprecise. Writers "draft the documentation before review," so draft documentation is the correct collocation.

Before publishing, the lead engineer will ___ the technical spec for accuracy.
To review the spec means to read and check the specification for correctness and completeness. Review is the standard term, behind "spec review" and "design review." Look over up, eye, and glance are informal or grammatically wrong. Engineers "review the spec before sign-off," so review the spec is the correct collocation.

Once approved, the team will ___ the integration guide to the public developer portal.
To publish a guide means to make it publicly available. Publish is the standard term, behind "publish the docs" and "published guide." Put out up, release down, and send up are not idiomatic. Teams "publish the guide to the docs site," so publish the guide is the correct collocation.
4 / 5
The team is expected to ___ the internal wiki so onboarding information stays current.
To maintain the wiki means to keep documentation up to date over time. Maintain is the precise term, behind "maintained documentation" and "doc maintenance." Keep up is close but less precise; hold up and mind are informal or wrong. Teams "maintain the wiki as the source of truth," so maintain the wiki is the correct collocation.
5 / 5

To update the README means to revise it so it reflects current reality. Update is the standard term, behind "keep the docs updated." Fresh up, renew out, and modernise over are not idiomatic. Developers "update the README with the new steps," so update the README is the correct collocation.
