How to track property-media revisions without losing versions

A message saying “please fix the photos” is hard to execute and harder to audit. Revisions need a reference point so the editor and reviewer are looking at the same files.

QUICK ANSWER

Attach each revision request to the specific deliverable and submitted version. Record the issue, expected correction, requester, editor owner and due time. When a corrected version arrives, review that version and mark exactly which files are approved; keep superseded files out of the client package.

Name the version and affected deliverable

Use a stable property identifier and a submission version. For each issue, identify the image or video segment, what is wrong, what the acceptable result looks like and who will decide when it is fixed. Keep general client feedback separate from a change to the agreed scope.

Route the decision back to the right person

The reviewer requests changes, the production owner assigns a responsible editor, and the editor submits a new version. The reviewer either approves it or requests another precise correction. If a client asks for a different deliverable, the coordinator first confirms scope and timing.

  • Request only the changes needed on the affected files.
  • Preserve the original and corrected versions until approval is clear.
  • Record the reviewer’s acceptance before changing the service to approved.

Illustrative revision history

For a fictional address, v1 has 24 images. The reviewer requests a vertical correction on image 07 and an exterior replacement for image 21. The editor submits v2 with those two items and the reviewer approves them. The delivery package contains 22 unchanged approved files plus the two approved v2 replacements, not both old and new copies.

Check the final package from the recipient view

Verify the correct property, approved files, naming and access. If some services are intentionally sent later, record the client agreement and the outstanding items. A completed revision task is not by itself a complete property-job delivery.
