CAN I EDIT THE WORK MYSELF AFTER DELIVERY?

Yes — that is the point of source files. Hand-off includes a written guide for the most common edits in your stack.

You own the source

All source files transfer to you on final payment. You can open, edit, and republish them yourself, with no studio involvement, forever. There is no license-back and no lock-in.

Hand-off documentation

Every project closes with a written self-edit guide covering:

  • How to change copy, swap images, update prices
  • How to publish a new blog post or article (where applicable)
  • How to export new format variants of brand assets
  • Where credentials live and how to rotate them
  • What to do when something breaks

When self-edit is not ideal

  • Type adjustments in a brand system without breaking the system
  • Music stems re-mix and re-master
  • Code architecture changes that affect data shape
  • Animation timing in a vetted final cut

For those, the 12-month re-export window or a continuity block is faster than learning the toolchain.
