    What does each step mean?

    1. Draft ready starts the chart. Editor reads it is required before the question.
    2. Accurate? sends a clean draft to legal and returns the rest.
    3. Note the version is shared so a returned draft is not confused with the one legal saw.
    4. Handed off ends this pass. Publishing can be a later rectangle if legal is not the last reader.
