Before-you-post checklist
Most privacy misses happen in the final 10%: compressed previews, reflected details, or crop variants. Treat verification as part of the workflow, not an optional step.
- Review reflective surfaces, including windows, paint, and mirrors.
- Keep one checklist for all team members so quality remains consistent.
- Check thumbnail and compressed preview versions, not just the full file.
