## Compare the actual delivered result {#section-1}

When conversion finishes, Your file and Vector appear together. Show detail enlarges the same comparison area. A sharper-looking thumbnail does not verify wording, likeness or fine printability.

- Read every word, number and punctuation mark against the source you intended.
- Inspect holes inside letters, narrow gaps and small shapes that may have filled in or disappeared.
- Compare thin strokes, outer edges and important details.
- Check the background and unwanted shapes. When This background will print appears, approve only if that background is intended.
- Review the whole design again after inspecting the detail view.

## Approve the exact version deliberately {#section-2}

1. **Step 1** Enter the intended Print width in inches. Height follows the artwork shape; conversion does not stretch it into a different box.

2. **Step 2** Choose Approve this vector only when that converted version is the one you want to use.

3. **Step 3** Check Approved and saved to My Designs, then enter print sizes and copy counts.

4. **Step 4** If the result is unsuitable, choose Don’t use this one. Your source is unchanged; a new conversion is a new quote.

> **Keep in mind** A successfully delivered conversion remains charged if you decline it. Approval is separate from final sheet proof, checkout and payment. It does not certify every tiny detail for every physical size.

## If the source or result needs changes {#section-3}

Return to the original or another appropriate artwork-editing path when spelling, shapes or the background need correction. Review the changed version and its own preparation/conversion quote. Do not approve a known mistake because the conversion completed.

If the actual result is absent or still processing, recover the existing operation before submitting another. A closed window or failed network response does not establish that conversion failed.
