## A worked example

Hypothetical decision: an art file is shown in a living-room frame. A clear digital-file preview and delivery label prevent the frame from appearing to be included.

Keep source files separately. Your entries stay in this browser page and are included only in the file you choose to download. Reloading the page clears this worksheet.
