Description

Reporting this here while documenting TODOs (#724).

From docs/journalist.rst:

.. todo:: This document recommends transferring documents from the 
          *SVS* to the *Journalist Workstation*, without any
          discussion of the potential risks or mitigations that should
          be taken when doing so. A section needs to be added on why
          doing this could be risky, and what can be done to make this
          situation better.

This will be resolved by #4657, which describes a clearer workflow with an explanation of the risks.
