The unclear handoff

A file is sent without saying what the recipient should do.

A file is sent without saying what the recipient should do.

A process is easier to discuss when its transitions are visible. Name what arrives, what changes, and what the next person needs. Test the sequence with one concrete example; a tidy diagram alone does not show that it works.

Add the intended next action beside the link.

If the difficulty remains, write what happened without blaming the attempt. A clearer problem is useful evidence for the next version.
