Add the specific files, requirements and reviewer notes for each stage. The brief records your plan; it does not generate, send or approve images.

1. **Keep source contributors identified**Required files and handoff notes
2. **Select separate views for leaves and flowers**Required files and handoff notes
3. **Mark plant names that have not been reliably confirmed**Required files and handoff notes

## A worked example

Hypothetical handoff: a garden owner provides three permitted views of a plant but leaves species identification unconfirmed. The illustrator receives the uncertainty with the references.

## What this can and cannot decide

Art and generated detail cannot establish species identity or plant health.

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.
