Common pitfalls
If burned-in text is required
Some placements require text burned into the frame. If that applies to your project, finalize and QA your caption file first, then submit a Request Edit Now or Request Revision.

A thorough QA pass is especially important here: mistakes are expensive to fix after burn-in.
