| What does it take? | A JSON body of type [`EvidenceControlBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#evidencecontrolbody). |
| What does it return? | Status 204 with no body. |
| What can go wrong? | `400` the body is not valid; `401` not signed in; `403` a member or a reader (orgs.forbidden), a plan without compliance evidence (plan.compliance_evidence_not_included), or an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such organisation, or the caller is not a member of it; `429` too many requests; `503` organisations are not set up on this server.
