The only thing I can think to add is that a good foredeck can pick both spin sheet and jib sheet (the future lazy sheet, in this case port) and pull it in to the mast. Unclip the pole from the mast ring and pass it under the jib sheet and clip it to the spin sheet. With your back to the mast pass the pole in front of you hand over hand while opening the jaw. Work with the crewmember who is working the new guy (old port spin sheet) to push the new front of the poll (port end) forward and up while pulling starboard end aft and down. This should allow the starboard spinsheet to come out of the jaw and the starboard jib sheet to fall off the end of the poll. Help them manually if needed. The pole usually needs to be let forward to about a 45° angle. All of this should be done while the helm is keeping the wind directly astern. In the end you will once again have a jib sheet (port) now over the poll.
So yeah everything (topping lift, down haul and pole) in between the jib sheets. Spinsheets run outside of everything. When the pole goes up DON'T allow the jib sheet to duck under forward end of the pole.
