Review guidance

Check mobile legibility for headline and CTA before distribution.

Common errors and fixes

Text crowding on story canvas

Shorten copy or reduce lines in headline and subline fields.

Progress value out of expected range

Use normalized progress between 0 and 1 for stable rendering.

Poor contrast with gradient background

Adjust accent and gradient colors for stronger text readability.

Upload exceeds limit

Compress image or choose a smaller file before loading.

Export differs from preview expectation

Re-check theme and image crop behavior before final download.

Security and privacy notes

Story rendering is local and does not upload assets by default.
Use non-sensitive demo text when sharing screenshots externally.
Track final approved versions to avoid accidental distribution of draft stories.

Step-by-step workflow

Start with a minimal input for Instagram Story Generator and verify baseline behavior first.
Make assumptions explicit: encoding, delimiter strategy, and timezone.
Change one variable at a time and compare output diffs.
Keep one verified output snapshot as a team reference.

Quality checklist before sharing output

Confirm Instagram Story Generator output is deterministic across repeated runs with identical input.
Check boundary inputs (empty values, long fields, invalid characters).
Remove sensitive data before sharing output externally.
Verify final rendering on both desktop and mobile viewports.

Operational notes

Instagram Story Generator should be treated as a repeatable validation step before merge, release, and handoff.
