Credit workflow
Keep credit, permission, and caption context visible.
Separate credit from permission
A named credit does not automatically mean reuse is cleared, so rights review stays visible when permission is unresolved.
Prepare sponsor-safe pages
Clear credit rules make future paid placements easier to review without weakening the editorial record.
