Before publishing, confirm video files, covers, titles, descriptions, subtitles, and episode numbers. Many review problems come from incomplete metadata rather than the video itself.
Check title and episode count
Review subtitles and covers
Confirm export format and resolution
Verify rights records
Keep application records, platform responses, title-list sources, contacts, and backfill links in one checklist so evidence is available after launch.
Save approval screenshots
Confirm publishing account
Prepare post-launch backfill links
Close the loop after launch
Publishing is not the end. Some platforms require episode links or title information after release, so teams should assign an owner and timestamp.
Record release links immediately
Backfill according to platform rules
Review whitelist or audit status
FAQs
What is the most important pre-release check?
Confirm complete content files, clear rights records, the correct publishing account, and available post-launch backfill paths.
Why keep following up after launch?
Some whitelisting, backfill, and review states sync only after publishing. Without follow-up, avoidable takedowns or delays can happen.
