      ​

  • Why don't I see the trash can icon next to my section/item/comment?

    • If you're using a specialized PDF output form like a Florida form or a TREC form, the trash can icon will not appear. This is because those forms are heavily coded to ensure the proper PDF output. Deleting anything from those forms will break the output and make the report unreadable for your client.
