Why this matters

A practical approach to managing client revisions.

Feedback is easier to manage when the reference version and reviewer are identified.

What to write before the work moves

Set the number of included rounds, feedback channel, consolidation rule and review window.

The boundary to keep visible

Separate a correction to the agreed output from a new preference or new piece of work.

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.

Common question

Does this guide replace professional advice?

No. Dealokr helps protect the commercial steps of a freelance deal through clear terms, a protected payment journey via the configured provider, protected delivery and approval. Legal, tax and accounting obligations remain those of the parties.

What should I keep in the project record?

Keep the relevant terms, the version or event in question, the client response and the next agreed action together so the timeline can be understood later.

Protect the next deal

Protect the payment journey and final handoff in one deal.

Dealokr helps reduce the risk of starting work without a protected payment journey or handing over final files too early. Stripe Connect handles payments where configured; Dealokr connects the payment state to protected delivery and validation without holding client funds or replacing professional advice.
