Three original workflow concepts for the moments when a record needs a next step. Open one, change it, and see how the decision works.
Give a draft a clear review path before it becomes a handoff.
Collect the working title and review flag, then route the draft to an editor when another look is needed. A cleared draft moves to the ready branch.
Keep urgent requests visible without treating every request as urgent.
Compare the request priority with an explicit threshold. Higher-priority work goes to review; the remaining work follows the standard path.
Make one deliberate review part of the handoff.
Use a required-review rule before passing work on. The local test explains which route is chosen and why, without sending files or messages.
Two fictional scenario studies show how a simple rule can make an everyday handoff easier to understand.
Give a working draft an explicit review flag and keep the next decision visible.
Use a priority threshold to separate the exceptional from the everyday.
