I can't tell which pickup correction to undo

Start with the physical setup. Keep the edited program, but stop adding corrections until someone checks how the housing sits before and after the fingers close.
9pointsBefore closing, it's already tilted a bit. I hadn't noticed that until I looked from the end.
8pointsThat saves you chasing the fingers first, but it doesn't clear them. Were all three edits for the same pocket or did someone change a shared pickup offset?
22pointsWhich end is high, and is it resting on the pocket bottom or caught on an edge? Hard to read a tilt from the top.
17pointsWe had a moulding sit beautifully until its small side lug met a tray wall. The top view concealed the whole thing. Sara, a retained housing and that exact pocket would be more useful than a photograph of an empty tray.
9pointsDon't undo all three edits blind. Nobody knows what the first one was hiding.
18pointsAn older program can still help explain what changed, Nadia. I agree it should not become the working version just because its date looks reassuring. Compare it with the present setup and give the person restoring the job the differences.
21pointsSara, did the missed pickups spread to other pockets after the edits?
7pointsAmara and Yasmin: shared offset every time. Originally one corner pocket, then another two. Jeremy: the cable-opening end sits high, and there's a shiny mark on the pocket wall.
14pointsThat spreading pattern makes the shared correction look expensive, though the original corner still needs explaining.
13pointsI wouldn't call a tray straight by eye after this. Straight where? A tidy outside edge can have miserable pockets inside it. That's a layout observation, not me diagnosing the moulding.
5pointsCould there be a removable insert in that corner? I have mistaken an insert joint for a crack before.
16pointsOmar, yes, there's an insert. The fitter found it wasn't down against its seat. The housing sits flat with it correctly seated; the displaced insert is being checked for damage.
18pointsWho owns the changeover sheet? The insert check needs to survive whoever is on shift next.
15pointsI do. Slightly embarrassing answer there.
21pointsBetter to find that now than write 'tray checked' and leave the next person staring at the outside edge. A photo showing that particular seat would help me.
4pointsAnd you're still left with three global edits. The insert repair won't automatically put the other pickups back where they belong.
5pointsSara, keep the housing with the shiny mark until the fitter has matched the contact. It is easy to lose the useful sample during a tidy-up.
9pointsWe've kept it, Kai. The fitter matched the mark to that wall. Controls has compared the offset edits and is reviewing the restored pickup against all pockets, not just the corner.
16pointsThat gives the handover two separate changes to describe: the insert seating and the pickup restoration. Do not bury either in a single 'adjusted tray' entry.
