Key points
Finalise the rental file send check handoff
Open the exact PDF from the device and directory that will perform the upload. Confirm filename, page order, rotation, clipping and blank scans, then remove similarly named drafts from the send folder while retaining private working history.
Useful context
Check a rental file before its first send
A send check freezes one readable version for one property, recipient and channel before any handoff occurs.
The decision here concerns early working-file hygiene, not the final recipient-specific send decision.
Working checklist
Build the rental file send check control
Open every working attachment from the provisional send folder and compare its visible first page with the checklist entry.
Remove obsolete drafts, confirm reading order and stop before treating the folder as an approved outbound version.
- Working filename: match the checklist entry to the file that actually opens.
- Preview: inspect the first and last page for clipping or an unexpected blank page.
- Order: place attachments in the sequence the current preparation note describes.
- Draft cleanup: move superseded copies out of the working send folder without deleting the private archive.

Practical example
How the rental file send review works
The working folder contains a current application PDF and an earlier draft with a similar name. The renter opens both, removes the stale copy from the send folder and keeps the current pack in preparation status.
On a phone preview, the renter scrolls from cover to final page and checks rotation, clipping, blank scans and the filename shown by the share sheet.
The working directory is checked on the device that will perform the upload. The renter opens the selected PDF from the checklist, confirms page order and removes a similarly named draft from that directory without erasing the private development history.
