# Translation source packet: Harbor Notes

Original fictional teaching material. Harbor Notes, its beta and every behavior below are invented for this exercise. This is ordinary product prose, not documentation for a real service or a captured software test.

## Reader and purpose

Translate the complete English guide into Simplified Chinese for people opening a desktop project notebook for the first time. They know everyday computer terms but not this product's organization or sharing behavior. The document should help them prepare, inspect and copy one project note. Use direct, natural Chinese instructions and preserve all eight sections. Do not shorten it into a summary or add a sales pitch.

The English action labels are illustrative labels in this fictional guide. Translate their meaning consistently in the Chinese prose. No real Chinese interface or localized application has been inspected. There are no resource keys, formatter arguments or executable commands to preserve.

## Short glossary and contextual rules

| Source term | Target choice and scope |
| --- | --- |
| Harbor Notes | Keep the product name Harbor Notes. |
| workspace | 工作区: a container for one project's notes. |
| note / card | 笔记 / 卡片: the card leads to a note; these are not two names for the workspace. |
| draft | 草稿 when it is the noun. For the verb, use natural wording such as 起草 or 写; do not insert the noun mechanically. |
| pin / PIN | 置顶 for the list action; PIN 码 for the six-digit sign-in code. Capitalization and context distinguish them. |
| review queue | 待检查列表: notes waiting for the current user's check, not notes already approved by a teammate. |
| archive / restore | 归档 / 恢复: archiving retains the note; it is not deletion. |
| handoff | 交接: preparing a copy is separate from sending it. |

## Author question that has not been answered

The source uses “soft confirmation” in section 7 without defining the interaction. There is no approved Chinese equivalent and no description of what users see or must do. Leave those English words in the Chinese draft and raise a specific question outside the translation. Do not assume an automatic dismissal, an approval, a button, a delay or a required click. No author reply is supplied elsewhere.

# Prepare a project note in Harbor Notes

## 1. Start in the right workspace

A workspace keeps notes for one project together. It is a place to organize your work, not a shared inbox. Adding a teammate's name to a note does not give that person access to the workspace.

## 2. Draft before you share

Draft a note in your own words. You can leave the editor and return to it later. A saved draft is still your working copy; saving it does not send it to anyone.

## 3. Find the note through its card

Each note has a card in the sidebar. Open the card to return to that note. Renaming the card changes that note's title; it does not rename the workspace.

## 4. Keep useful cards near the top

You may pin up to 3 cards to the top of your list. Pinning is a personal view setting, so your teammates' lists stay unchanged. If the beta asks for a six-digit PIN at sign-in, enter the sign-in code; it is unrelated to pinned cards.

## 5. Check the review queue

The review queue contains up to 12 notes waiting for your own check. Only notes you add with Add to review enter this queue. Seeing a note there does not mean a teammate has reviewed or approved it.

## 6. Put an old note away

Archive an old note to remove its card from the active list while keeping the note in the workspace. Archived notes do not count toward the 12-note review limit. You can restore an archived note when you need it again.

## 7. Prepare a handoff copy

Preparing a handoff creates a copy for you to inspect. It does not send the original or the copy. After you choose Prepare handoff, review the soft confirmation before continuing. Then check the copy's title and project details.

## 8. Copy, read and send

When you are ready, use Copy text to place the prepared copy on the clipboard. Paste it into the destination you choose and read it once more before sending. Harbor Notes does not send it for you. Close the preview only after checking that you copied the intended note.
