Netflix's nonfiction M&E guide treats Foley as an optional, often unbudgeted pass cued at the sound or post supervisor's discretion (cloth and props first, footsteps rarely), with married music, effects and separate dialogue stems when there is no Foley; its sound-mix spec v1.6 lists Foley as a labelled object/bed group and expects Foley fill in the 5.1 M&E. No public Netflix text read gives a Foley cue-sheet format or track layout.
