Sources & evidenceWorkflow guides
Preserve license observations with the asset version you actually selected
A licensing observation can become hard to reconstruct when a page changes or several files share a similar description.
NarrationWorkflow guides
SSML or plain text: keep speech controls out of unsupported workflows
Speech markup can express pronunciation or pauses, but only when the chosen synthesis engine understands the requested elements.
Caption workflowsWorkflow guides
