“Please proofread” is too vague for a production handoff. One reviewer fixes commas, another challenges claims, and neither checks the canonical. A clear handoff tells the reviewer what changed, what matters, and what evidence is ready.
Package the draft
Provide the intended slug, title, audience, primary task, cited sources, image path, and related pages. Flag claims that depend on current facts or internal judgment. The reviewer should not have to reconstruct the brief from chat history.
Separate review passes
First check meaning: accuracy, completeness, unsupported claims, and misleading transitions. Next inspect structure and usability. Finish with production fields such as dates, metadata, links, image rendering, canonical, and structured data.
Use explicit outcomes
Return approved, approved with listed corrections, or revision required. Each issue needs a location, reason, owner, and severity. “Needs polish” is not actionable.
Recheck corrections
The author should not self-certify disputed corrections. The original reviewer closes substantive issues and confirms that fixes did not introduce new broken links or contradictory copy.
Verify after release
Open the public route on a narrow and wide viewport. Confirm the visible date, headings, links, image, and metadata. Record the live URL and release SHA with the handoff.

Frequently asked questions
Can one person perform all passes?
Yes, but separate the passes and leave time between drafting and review when possible.
What blocks publication?
False or unsupported claims, broken required links, incorrect dates, missing images, route conflicts, and unresolved ownership should block release.
Are style preferences blockers?
Only when they impair clarity, brand consistency, accessibility, or the promised reader outcome.
