| Step | PASS/FAIL | Note |
|------|-----------|------|

---

## B · Create one of each (25–40 min)

For **each** article below:

1. Open the **Desk** link (Cmd-click so you can keep the issue board).  
2. Confirm you are on **Form** (not a blank page).  
3. Fill the fields — use your own words or adapt the sample ideas.  
4. Optional: paste image URLs (Unsplash or any https image) into image fields.  
5. Click **Layout** once if the tab exists — note whether it looks usable or broken (one line).  
6. Return to **Form** / save if the UI offers save (autosave may already run).  
7. Mark the checklist row.

### B1 · Travel (4 images) — feature form

http://142.93.40.56:8082/create.html?tab=desk&article=art-f-f1&mag=mag-f  

Ideas: weekend trip, slow travel, “wander with intention”.  
Expect: title, standfirst, **Subhead 1–3**, **Body 1–3** (~200 words each), **2 pull quotes**, **4 image** fields.

| Step | PASS/FAIL | Note |
|------|-----------|------|
| B1 Form fields present | | |
| B1 Copy entered | | |
| B1 Layout glance (optional) | | |

### B2 · Health (3 images) — feature form

http://142.93.40.56:8082/create.html?tab=desk&article=art-f-f2&mag=mag-f  

Ideas: sleep, strength, quiet wellness.  
Expect: same feature shape as Travel, but **3 images** only.

| Step | PASS/FAIL | Note |
|------|-----------|------|
| B2 Form fields present | | |
| B2 Copy entered | | |
| B2 Layout glance (optional) | | |

### B3 · Fashion (8 containers) — mosaic form

http://142.93.40.56:8082/create.html?tab=desk&article=art-f-f3&mag=mag-f&entry=image_first  

**Important:** this form is different — **eight blocks**, each = image + subtitle + ~200 words.  
`entry=image_first` puts image fields near the top of each container.

You do **not** need perfect copy for all eight if time is short — aim for **at least 4 complete containers**, note if you stopped early.

| Step | PASS/FAIL | Note |
|------|-----------|------|
| B3 Eight container groups visible | | |
| B3 ≥4 containers filled (or all 8) | | |
| B3 Layout glance (optional) | | |

### B4 · Home / DIY (3 images) — feature form

http://142.93.40.56:8082/create.html?tab=desk&article=art-f-f4&mag=mag-f  

Ideas: one room fix, weekend DIY, “rooms that hold you”.  
Expect: feature shape, **3 images**.

| Step | PASS/FAIL | Note |
|------|-----------|------|
| B4 Form fields present | | |
| B4 Copy entered | | |
| B4 Layout glance (optional) | | |

|------|-----------|------|
| C1 image-first vs story-first preference | | |
| C2 Mag F layout gallery opened | | |
