# Review and approve a LinkedIn post with an exact handoff

Original constructed exercises. No real account data, study participants or customer outcomes. The two expanded comparisons retain six earlier cases in total; those are not new cases.

## Complete three approval handoffs

A1 — Constructed clean handoff: version R3 has the checked October source note, caption and exact PDF. The reviewer approves R3 for Page P at the recorded instant. The authorized publisher opens that same version and verifies the queue entry. Outcome: approved version queued and checked, not published or proven useful to readers.

A2 — Constructed changed-file case: a designer replaces the PDF after approval but keeps its filename. Outcome: hold publication, identify the actual replacement and review its numbers, private details and accessible companion. An unchanged filename is not a preserved content identity, and the old approval does not automatically describe the new file.

A3 — Constructed missing-control case: the owner cannot find Request Approval on their own draft. Current Buffer role guidance explains why that control can differ. Outcome: arrange the intended review explicitly and retain an unqueued draft until it is complete. Do not downgrade ownership or submit the post merely to make an approval tab appear.
