Who this guide helps
Teams delivering mixed-media work
The short answer
Release an identified set with status and dependencies. Several competing files named final do not make a reliable delivery.
Practical workflow
List approved sources, exports, linked assets, fonts and required software where relevant. Separate drafts and references. Record changes from the prior release and unresolved items. Check permissions before sharing. Use readable filenames and an inventory rather than relying on folder order.
What a useful handoff looks like
Test that files open and exports match the approved version. Ask the recipient to confirm receipt and missing dependencies. Keep legal rights and technical access as separate checks under the actual agreement.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not overwrite the only source or assume an export includes editable files. Receipt is not universal acceptance.
Working example: fields to record
| Field | Illustrative entry — replace with your own facts |
|---|---|
| Release | Agreed version and date |
| Dependency | Linked asset or font |
| Receipt check | Recipient confirms usable set |
Add your own entries; the example is illustrative. Keep sensitive information private.
Sources & further checks
Official references are starting points for further checks, not approval of a specific case, product or project.
