It does not include information for receiving the prints, updating the spreadsheet, sending to the framers, adding the barcode, or updating the website.

These instructions cover relinking item records, as well as holdings records and the item records linked to those holdings records. The instructions don't cover all the possible variations in relinking, but they lay out one way to do the work.
