Test the client handoff before you move the archive.
Use ten representative files from one current job. Check access, proofing, downloads, and the exact link a client will receive. Keep everything else where it is until the workflow earns the move.
Set the boundary before the design
Decide who should reach the gallery and what they should be able to do before you polish the cover.
Use ten files that expose the real job
A tiny, representative set tells you more than a polished demo and does not require an archive migration.
Open the exact client path
Do not review only from the signed-in studio dashboard.
Run one proofing round
Test whether feedback stays attached to the photograph and remains easy to act on.
Try only the downloads you mean to offer
“Downloads on” is not one decision. Test each route you intend to provide.
Send one clear next step
The gallery should carry the handoff, not force the client to reconstruct it from several messages.
