# Your audiobook workflow

> Move from manuscript to recording, review, pickups, and handoff.

Margent keeps your manuscript, chapter review, and pickups together so you can spend more time narrating. You may also see the application referred to as VO Studio.

## Start with one chapter

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set up your book">
    [Create a project](/getting-started/create-project), add your manuscript, and check its [reading sections](/getting-started/manuscript-sections).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read and record">
    Use [Studio](/studio/read-and-navigate) for your manuscript and pickup notes. Record your audio in your usual recording software.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review your narration">
    [Upload a chapter recording](/recordings/upload) in **QA**. Once proofing finishes, listen to the flagged passages and decide whether each needs a change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Work through pickups">
    [Create pickups](/pickups/create) for the passages you want to fix. Record and edit the corrections in your recording software, then [mark the pickups complete](/pickups/complete).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Prepare the handoff">
    If you want the edited chapter checked, [replace its recording](/recordings/replace). Review the new results and [prepare delivery](/delivery/prepare-handoff).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Three terms you will use often

* **Finding:** a possible difference identified during proofing, awaiting your decision.
* **Pickup:** a passage you have decided needs work, created from a finding or marked manually.
* **Current recording:** the uploaded chapter audio used for the current proofing results.

A completed review queue means you have dealt with its work items. It does not certify the audio or send files to your client.
