Agree on AI use before drafting
Document whether AI may be used for brainstorming, research organization, drafting, cleanup, translation, or marketing. Agree on which client materials may be processed and how the final work will be reviewed.
A short written policy protects the relationship more effectively than an assumption that everyone means the same thing by AI assistance.
Keep client context attached to sections
Store the brief, audience, voice examples, approvals, source files, and open questions where the relevant chapter can find them. This prevents a late change from disappearing in a long email thread.
Awtter's Notepad, Comments, Research, and Binder metadata create a clear home for the collaboration.
Make approvals easy to review
Use section statuses, target words, labels, saved views, and snapshots to show what is drafted, reviewed, revised, and ready for compile. Avoid sending a client a file with no indication of what changed.
The same project can preserve private production notes while exporting only the approved document sections.
Deliver a complete handoff
A professional handoff includes the final document formats, source project or agreed archive, asset list, rights notes, and a recovery checkpoint. Confirm that private notes and drafts are excluded.
Publish and History keep those outputs connected to the version the client approved.
