Separate the request from the layout
Copy the requested wording into a short proof card, then add a separate note for placement and style choices. Keeping those decisions apart makes a correction easier to trace without suggesting that an order has already been approved.
Give the revision one clear home
Save the current proof card with its revision date and retire earlier versions from the active folder. A single current reference can reduce avoidable re-reading when a small shop returns to the job. Find more workflow ideas in /updates/.
