• Record which account, app, and file owns the workflow
• Keep a verified backup before removing access, changing ownership, or replacing a local file
• Apply high-impact changes to one test item or user before expanding the scope
• Save confirmation numbers, dates, and screenshots of the final settings when they affect billing, security, or permissions
