My [coauthor] expects the merged chapter draft on [deadline=Monday] but I have separate Word drafts, images, and a bibliography in different folders. I’m terrified of sending the wrong version and destroying months of cross‑checking. Tell me whether this looks like a version‑control risk or a packaging problem, and give the fastest, safest sequence to assemble a single file they can edit: what to merge first, what to leave as attachments, and one clear subject line and brief note to send so they know where to comment without hunting files.
