- Create a consistent review note
- Call out when file contents are not available

- 5Test with one real file upload and check the result against the material available.
Questions about this workflow
Can this summarize the actual file contents?
Only if file contents are included in the event context. Otherwise, the workflow can summarize available metadata and note the limitation.
Does it modify or reorganize uploaded files?
No. It generates a review brief and does not change Canvas files.
