Very rarely to I ever give an entire document to the SME or a reviewer -
it's almost always been spoon-fed to them in "chunks" (no jokes, please),
usually one chapter at a time, as the chapter is written. It makes less of
an impact on their time, I can continue working on the next chapter/earlier
revisions/etc., and if there's a problem, it gets spotted much earlier in
the process.

If the SME requests multiple chapters (or the entire doc), I'm happy to give
it to them (although they seldom do). And, of course, whoever has to do the
final signoff gets a complete copy.
