Define the steps

Author in Docs, review in comments, finalize, export, deliver, and archive. Make responsibilities explicit.

Use templates with pre‑set styles and spacing. This avoids last‑minute formatting issues.

Add a short pre‑export checklist for links, images, and page flow. Keep it under two minutes.

Automate repetitive exports and notifications. Keep humans in the loop for quality gates.

Track time to publish and error rates. Improve the workflow quarterly.
