How to check whether a platform change affects your work
A practical check for reach, eligibility, payout, rights and workflow changes before you rebuild a channel around a headline.
Find the policy and the date
Read the platform's own policy, help page or release note and record the effective date, eligible accounts and regions.
Separate reach from money
A recommendation or format change can affect discovery without changing payout terms. Check each claim against its own source.
Run a small test
Change one variable, keep the old workflow available and measure the result over a defined period before committing the whole catalogue.
What this guide does not cover
Platform rules and eligibility can vary by country, account and programme.
