The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

The recording shows as available but the transcript is still processing.

The recording is listed as available but its transcript is still processing and I need to post the file before Tuesday. I’m afraid the transcript-dependent captions will be missing if I download now.

Downloading recordings takes extra time after every class.

After every session I spend 10–20 minutes locating the right recording, downloading it, renaming, and moving it into our course folder. I lose time and sometimes grab the wrong file. What process or small tool change will save the most time and cut these mistakes—consistent naming, automated export, or a delegated step—and how should I implement it?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
