EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn a source into a clear draft without publishing private text or an OCR mistake.

For work involving text extracted from approved documents or images and proposed public-facing copy, start with a defined purpose and check the evidence before taking the next step. Prepare proposed short-form copy from documents the requester may use, held for editorial review. Image reading can miscopy names, numbers, or instructions, and documents may contain confidential or copyrighted content. Confirm rights and permitted use, verify extracted text against the original, remove private details, preserve attribution, and require an editor to approve the exact draft and destination before release.
