Hand off thumbnails to an editor with clear review context
A handoff should answer which version is current, why it was chosen, and what can still change. Include both the editable work and the files ready to upload.

Package a version
Attach the source frame timecode, brief, intended YouTube title and output files. Put the version name inside the review note. If a reference or font is licensed, state the usage limits so the recipient can edit safely.
Ask for specific feedback
Ask reviewers about recognition, clarity, or fidelity to the video. For example, “Can you tell which setting changed on a phone?” points to a fix. Record decisions against a version so old comments do not reopen after revisions.
Confirm ownership and access
Check who may approve and who can export. When the work changes owner, verify the editable files and review history are available to the recipient. Retire old share links when the review ends.
