If you only remember one habit from this piece, make it this: screenshot the served creative, not just the uploaded master. What ran is the truth; what you approved in the deck is often a polite fiction.

That is the practical frame I use with clients and editors alike: celebrate the launch, then demand the control panel. Tools without ownership create expensive confusion dressed up as innovation.
