# Delivery Stage

> Rigorous QA, deliverable approvals, and final handover to the client.

## What Happens at This Stage

The delivery stage is the bridge between "done internally" and "done for the client." Nextoria Hub enforces a structured approval process to ensure nothing is handed over without explicit client sign-off — protecting both the client and your agency.

## Marking a Deliverable Ready for Review

When the team completes a deliverable:

1. Open the task or deliverable item
2. Click **Mark as Ready for Review**
3. Upload the final file(s) or provide a preview link
4. Add optional review notes for the client
5. The client receives an email and portal notification

## Client Review Process

In the client portal, the client sees a **Review Queue** — all deliverables awaiting their input.

For each deliverable, the client can:

* **Preview** — view images, PDFs, and videos inline without downloading
* **Approve** — lock the deliverable and advance the task to `Approved`
* **Request Revisions** — write feedback and send it back to the team

Approved deliverables are logged with a timestamp and the approving user's name — creating an immutable record of client acceptance.

## QA Checklist

Before marking any deliverable ready for review, require your team to complete a QA checklist. Configure default QA checklists per content type under **Settings → Projects → QA Checklists**:

Example QA checklist for a web design deliverable:

* [ ] Reviewed on mobile (375px, 390px)
* [ ] Reviewed on tablet (768px)
* [ ] Reviewed on desktop (1440px)
* [ ] All links functional
* [ ] All images optimized and have alt text
* [ ] Spelling and grammar checked
* [ ] Brand colors match approved palette
* [ ] Approved by internal lead before client review

## Final Handover

Once all deliverables are approved:

1. Click **Complete Project** on the project header
2. The project status changes to `Completed`
3. A **Project Wrap-Up Report** is auto-generated (team hours, budget spent, timeline adherence)
4. The final invoice is auto-drafted based on completed deliverables (if linked to the proposal)
5. The client receives a portal notification that the project is complete

<Tip>
  Use the Wrap-Up Report in client emails to demonstrate the value delivered —
  it shows hours invested, milestones hit, and deliverables produced.
