Separate wording from placement
A two-step approval note can keep a personalized order clear without turning every request into a long message thread. First confirm the exact wording, including punctuation and capitalization. Then confirm where that wording should appear in the supplied layout preview.
The note does not need to promise a finished result before a sample or review. Its job is to preserve the customer's decision in a form that the maker can check again before work begins.
Save the approved pair together
Store the text approval beside the matching preview with one order reference. When a revision arrives, make a fresh pair instead of overwriting the earlier one. This creates a simple path for resolving which version the customer actually chose.
