# 16D Sentence Review

A progress report should explain what has changed and what remains, rather than use one broad word to describe several different stages.
After the commit, the changes may still need to be pushed to the remote repository before an automatic build can begin.
I name the actual stage so that the person reading the report knows which result they can expect to observe now.
The remaining work may involve correcting a configuration, retrying a build, or checking the published page after the deployment succeeds.
Before an update goes live, I review what will be published and confirm that the release contains the changes we actually intend to share.
Then I follow the deployment process that the project already uses, rather than assume that every application publishes in the same way.
I look for the intended content and confirm that the main links lead to the correct destinations under the production domain.
After sharing the production link, I record any remaining follow-up work so that a completed release does not hide an unfinished requirement.
Have the latest changes been committed and pushed, or are they still only available in the local working directory on this machine?
Please distinguish those stages in the report and let me know which step is running before you say that the update is online.
Before sharing the link, confirm that the production site shows the intended content and that the main navigation still works as expected.
Good; include the production URL and summarize what changed, without treating an unchecked part of the application as verified by this release.
