What a flag set in code does to a finished file
A plan appears on an invoice. A flag set in an integration appears nowhere, and one entry in this record states that a mark it applied cannot be taken off a video already produced. As of 2026-09-12.
| Point | Where it sits | What the record holds |
|---|---|---|
| The cause | One support article | An API test flag, set by whoever built the integration |
| What it cannot do | The same article | A mark in test mode cannot be removed from an existing video |
| The route that exists | The same article | A new request with the flag off, which means a new render |
Inclusion rule. Entries whose pages state that a mark persists on a finished asset. Entries silent about finished files are recorded as silent. Order. The cause first, then the limit, then the route.
1The permanence a regulator wants is the permanence that hurts
A notice a customer can lift off a finished file is a weak notice. Read from that side this is the strong case in the record, and it is strong because of a flag somebody set in code on a day nobody remembers.
Read from the production side the same property is a hazard. An approved cut carrying an unwanted mark cannot be repaired by buying anything, because the published route is to produce the asset again.
2Re-requesting is not re-exporting
A generated video produced a second time is not guaranteed to match the first. Where an approved cut exists, that is the whole problem, and nothing on the page addresses whether an identical result can be reproduced.
Two other entries in this record put their marking control in a per-call parameter as well. Neither states what happens to a file already made, so this is the one documented answer to a question all three raise.
3Which makes one field in a delivery record worth a great deal
Noting the request parameters at render time costs a moment. Recovering them afterwards is impossible unless the pipeline logged them, and no vendor in this record undertakes to remember on a caller's behalf.
The manner paragraph wants the information given at the latest on first exposure, which makes the state at render time the fact that matters. Today's setting explains nothing about last quarter's files.
