Check the revised chapter

Marking a pickup complete records that you finished the task; it does not upload or re-proof your edited audio. To check the new chapter file, replace the chapter recording. Manual and confirmed pickups keep their completion state when you replace a recording. If the new proofing run finds another difference in the same passage, listen and make a new decision.
