I actually found it easiest to take the series of photos when I unpacked it after a successful packing job. That way I knew that everything in the photo actually worked. Without my series of photos, it would take me at least another hour to pack it. End up with a series of 6 or 8 photos in my case.

I also have a separate text file on my computer that is saved as an image with my photos that clarifies some of the important aspects of packing. Since I only do that twice a year (in 2020, no tour, thus not packed), I need the documentation to help me figure it out.

But no two frames are shaped exactly the same way, so no two bikes will pack the same way. In my case the manufacturer said that my bike at my size would not fit in the case. I made it fit.
