Managing client revisions
Use this guide as an operational starting point, then adapt it to the client, the scope and the rules that apply to your work.
Decide the rule before the project moves.
Managing client revisions is easier to manage when both sides can see the expected result, the person who decides and the next action. Start with the facts that affect the project rather than a vague promise.
Put the decision in a shared record.
Write down the scope, date, amount or approval step that applies to this project. A clear record helps a client act and helps you avoid rebuilding the context from scattered messages.
Do not mistake a workflow for legal, tax or financial advice.
This guide offers operational guidance for freelancers. Check the official source relevant to your situation and seek qualified advice whenever the decision has legal, accounting or tax consequences.
Operational example
Managing client revisions: organise feedback before editing
When feedback comes from several people, ask the client for one consolidated response. Then work from a single list where every point is tied to scope, version and a decision: fix, clarify or quote separately.
- Avoid handling conflicting comments in parallel.
- Separate a correction from a new creative direction.
- Send the updated version with the changes summarised.
