Lightroom edits not showing up after sharing

Question

I am a photo editer and a client sent me a gallery in lightroom through dropbox. I see her edits and synced the rest of the photos. All photos are edited to me. I send back to her and she can't see my edits only hers.. The smart previews file is there but the helper data file is not there? How can I get this back and save my edits? or is there a different problem?

"client sent me a gallery in lightroom"I presume you mean a CATALOG exporeted from LIGHTROOM-CLASSIC"synced the rest of the photos"Do not know what you mean by this!  A LrC Catalog should have the accompanying Smart Previews provided. No syncing involved."I send back to her..."What do you send back?  The CATALOG file? *"..and she can't see my edits only hers."And is she opening the catalog you send back?Is she opening her own catalog and doing [Import from another Catalog] to merge YOUR edits in HER catalog?"The smart previews file is there...."There is no need to return Smart Previews. Only the CATALOG * needs to be returned to the Client. "...but the helper data file is not there..."That is not needed to return either.*Any Masking done would require also returning the file ending with  .LRCAT-DATA See this forum link for some more advice on a Client/Editor workflow-CLIENT EDITOR OUT-SOURCING
