This package includes a long Q&A, pull quotes, captions, and a data table; several items were moved between columns during layout. I can't be sure which moved text retained editorial intent. Diagnose whether I should reflow copy back into the original sequence, re-query the reporter for confirmation, or accept the new layout with minimal edits. Recommend the safest choice and the wording to use when asking the designer to hold pages if I need more time.
when the reply comes backPush once: ask it to sharpen the weakest part, and to say what it assumed.
