πŸ’‘ Workflow Wednesday πŸ’‘

Your turn to be a mad scientist by purposefully testing your workflows with bad files to see how your system responds.

Most workflows are built and tested with perfect files, but this can leave you unprepared for when a problem file shows up.

One smart testing strategy to help you stay ahead is deliberately submitting imperfect files to see how your workflows respond.

Try these scenarios:
πŸ§ͺ Missing fonts.
πŸ§ͺ RGB images that should be CMYK.
πŸ§ͺ Incorrect bleed dimensions.
πŸ§ͺ Corrupted metadata.
πŸ§ͺ Files with the wrong naming convention.

Does your workflow catch the problem and route it appropriately, or does it fail silently, letting bad files slip through to production?

The best workflows handle edge cases gracefully. They don't just stop, they identify the specific problem, route the file for human review, and notify the right person. If you only test with clean files, you're only testing half your workflow.
