Media labeling

Current first stop
Check these first
Confirm the baseline
Make sure every player is on the same version and using the same world state before checking anything else.
Name ownership
The main save owner and backup path should be obvious in a shared session.
Only then reopen gameplay pages
Once co-op is stable, return to the normal guide or boss page instead of staying in support mode.

Avoid these mistakes
Mistake 1
Do not treat setup drift like a boss guide problem.
Mistake 2
Do not mix old save assumptions with a new shared session.
Mistake 3
Do not leave the co-op baseline vague when ownership matters.
Questions people ask next
