Before giving the sales team the image, align it to brand expectations: match the exact PMS/hex values and approved headline font, set logo lockup in the correct margin, boost contrast around the prototype so it reads on mobile, and include a version with a muted caption area so sales can add messaging without reflowing the layout.

Questions people ask

honest answers

Because you rarely think 'I want the redaction tool'. You think 'I have to share this without leaking the client's details'. Start from the need, and the feature finds you.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
