Execute — do the immediate task
+Make an exact duplicate of the presentation Algebra Warmup — Week 5, name the copy Algebra Warmup — Week 5 (Copy), and move it into the Shared Teacher Resources folder so I can make edits without touching the original before Friday’s observation.

Improve — make it easier to accept
+Before I duplicate Algebra Warmup — Week 5 for editing, highlight what will need attention in the copy: linked images, external video embeds, and notes that mention private student data. Make the duplicate ready for editing by removing active sharing links and adding a version note at the top specifying who will edit it.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment
+I duplicated the deck but the copy still links to the original’s videos
I made a copy of Algebra Warmup — Week 5 to edit for Friday, but the embedded videos still point to the original file and won’t play for my co-teacher. I’m worried edits will break both files.

Become — change the pattern
+I keep breaking originals when I edit copies
I frequently intend to work in a duplicate but end up editing the original or producing copies that still reference the original’s assets. Where is the process failing, and what single change in how I create and name copies will stop accidental edits and broken links across shared decks?

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.
