Useful to borrow

Keep external applications recognizable, preserve permission states, and use real page annotation to turn a broad task into a specific follow-up.

Do not infer

Do not borrow the inset presenter for the companion video or imply a submitted expense from a populated form alone. The native-app permission step is material.
