Your client should never be the first person to test the work.
A recent update to my Contra portfolio caught this perfectly. The editor preview showed the new cover. The public page still showed the old one.
It looked done until we opened the page a visitor would see.
That gap is easy to miss when AI helps you move fast. The file exists. The tool says success. The reply says 'done'. So you move on.
Before I hand over the result, I check the other end:
Open the exported file.
Click through the live page.
Try the shared link without owner access.
Check that the form submission actually arrives.
Pick the checks that match the work. A screenshot of the editor can't prove the public page changed.
AI can help make the work. Your name is still on the handoff.
What's one check you always run before sending work out?

This is such a useful reminder that quality includes the handoff, not just the artifact. Testing the live page, exported file, permissions, and real form flow is a strong practical checklist for catching the gaps screenshots can hide.
