## Accept, prepare, inspect, add {#section-1}

1. **Step 1** Select the exact candidate you want to use. Check its words, edges, background, details and intended size.

2. **Step 2** Read the preparation quote shown with Looks good, make print ready. Preparation has its own quoted cost, separate from generation and revision.

3. **Step 3** Choose Looks good, make print ready only when you want to accept that exact candidate and start its quoted preparation. If an accepted candidate is waiting for preparation, the recovery action is Make print ready.

4. **Step 4** Wait for preparation, then inspect the prepared result and allowed size. If preparation changed transparency, a Check the prepared file step asks you to choose Use this prepared file. That extra confirmation is conditional; it does not appear for every result.

5. **Step 5** Set the physical dimensions and quantity for your design. Explicitly choose Add prepared design to sheet when satisfied with the prepared result and settings.

6. **Step 6** Inspect the full sheet and order details before checkout. Preparing or adding artwork does not place a paid print order.

> **Keep in mind** Some single-design wizard screens use No, it needs changes and Yes, it looks good instead. The latter accepts the selected candidate and starts the shown preparation. Its conditional prepared-review action is It looks good, use it. Follow the labels on your screen; the bulk workspace uses the labels above.

## If the prepared design needs changes {#section-2}

An AMS ProFile uses protected artwork identity and a protected preview. Pixel-changing uploader edits, Cutout and Revise are unavailable for the prepared version.

Return to the unprepared source or candidate. Make the change, inspect it and prepare the new selected version. Do not treat a protected preview as an ordinary editable source or assume preparation makes every size acceptable.

## Use the saved artwork for your next AMS print order {#section-3}

1. **Step 1** Open My Designs in the account that owns the saved design.

2. **Step 2** Select the saved design and choose Create Gang Sheet through the supported workflow.

3. **Step 3** Check the selected identity, permitted print size, quantities, sheet and current order price again.

> **Keep in mind** Saved ProFile reuse is an AMS print workflow. A downloaded .ams file is not a standalone PNG or vector file and is not a promise of an editable artwork export.
