The direct answer

The visible dashboard may hide dependencies managed elsewhere. A complete handoff includes the systems that publish, route and measure the site.

A practical check

Map content editing, deployment, forms, media storage and analytics. Note manual steps and the people responsible for them.

Choosing the next step

Create a maintainable operating record with approved access and verification steps. Do not equate a successful dashboard login with control of all underlying services.
