An interrupted engraving job needs a visible hold record so the next operator does not mistake it for a fresh setup. Follow the equipment instructions for stopping and responding to an interruption before handling the work area.
Record what is known
Once it is safe to document the job, note the file version, object identifier and the reason the session stopped. Distinguish what you observed from what remains uncertain. If you cannot determine the job's state, write state unknown instead of guessing where processing ended.
Keep the record outside the working area and make it available to whoever is responsible for the next decision. Avoid leaving an unlabeled object and an open file as the only explanation of an unfinished session.
Require a fresh decision before resuming
A handover note is not authorization to restart. Resolve the interruption and follow the manufacturer's applicable inspection and restart guidance. Do not bypass safeguards or infer that the prior setup remains valid. A partially processed object may need a different disposition from a fresh blank; establish that decision through the documented workflow before another operation begins.
