Read the storyUse a training copy or disposable page. Change one shared color and show where it appears, then restore it. Edit a page-specific paragraph and compare the scope. Include the names of the actual templates and patterns used by the site rather than screenshots from an unrelated theme.
Ask the editor to replace a hero sentence, preview it on a phone and restore the previous text. Then rehearse reporting a problem without giving everyone administrator access. A short recording of the site's real workflow is more useful than a long list of controls the client should never touch.
Name the person responsible for theme updates, content review and emergency recovery. Explain where customizations live and which changes need a developer. The handover is complete when the client can finish the agreed tasks and recognize when a change would affect the wider site.
Prioritize the tasks the client must perform independently and the mistakes they need to recover from. Include the real screen names and escalation contact. A focused guide that enables correct editing is more useful than an exhaustive tour without clear ownership or recovery steps.
