Conduct a Pre-Edit

Confirm with Brian (editing co-ordinator) the following:

• Issue (course) has been entered in JIRA[link] and assigned

Discuss and verify with the instructional designer, course lead, SME, or course writer the following:

• Scope of edit: this may change as editing proceeds and may differ from information captured in JIRA
• How to handle URLs: for example, as weblinks with author/originator stated, title of resource in bold font, URL provided, instructions to Production
• Citation style to be used

Verify with the curriculum assistant the following:

• Details of the textbook(s) (name, author, edition); companion website; and other resources
• Editor's access to the resources

Start creating a style sheet
